“We wish to clarify that there was a slight increase in the price based on the prevailing realities of market forces of demand and supply,” he stated.
The PPMC did not make public the October ex- depot price but in September, it announced ex-depot price of N151.56k.
The November price of N153.17 has an increment of N1.61 from the September price.
