The Group Managing Director of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation has given assurance concerning that before the National Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m 100% sure that there will be a serious reduction in the price of petroleum products as soon as our four refineries come up \u2013 the Dangote Refinery, Port Harcourt Refinery, Warri Refinery and Kaduna Refinery. But we should not expect the price to come down like it was before, because of the high exchange rate, but it will be a bit lower than what is it now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Korie also charged the newly inaugurated state council of NOGASA to ensure a total clampdown on adulterated products as well as hoarding of products.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, the National President of PETROAN, Dr Billy Harry, said the union would work in collaboration with NOGASA and relevant bodies<br \/>\nin ensuring that the importation of petroleum products is reduced to the barest minimum.<\/p>\n<p>Price of petroleum products to come down soon \u2013 NAGOSA, PETROAN<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Natural Oil and Gas Suppliers Association of Nigeria, NAGOSA, and the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6579,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6754,15,6755],"tags":[6756,180,6757],"class_list":["post-6578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nagosa","category-news","category-petroan","tag-nagosa","tag-news","tag-petroan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6578"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6578\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
