NNPC Mobile App Required for N66 Fuel Discount Under Federal Initiative

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) states that motorists seeking the N66-per-litre discount at its retail outlets must use its mobile application for payment. This requirement applies to the Independence Anniversary promotion, which aligns with the federal government’s recent 30-day fuel price discount announced on October 8, 2026.

NNPCL confirmed through its X platform that the discount mechanism is exclusively accessible via the company’s app, prompting motorists to download and utilize it for discounted fuel transactions. The initiative aims to ensure the 30-day price reduction benefits commercial transport operators and Nigerians affected by rising fuel costs.

Critics note that not all motorists have smartphone access or app literacy, raising concerns about the practicality of this payment model for the discount’s implementation.
