It has slashed the the price of diesel by ¢1.50 to now sell at ¢14.60 per litre.

On the other hand, petrol is going for ¢12.40 per litre, representing a decline of ¢1.

The reduction by GOIL is in line with the fortnight review in prices of petroleum products at the pumps.

TotalEnergies has also announced a price reduction of its products at the pumps.

Other OMCs are also expected to follow suit by adjusting their prices of petroleum products later today.
