Price of diesel unchanged despite removal of VAT —Marketers

The cost of Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) popularly known as diesel has continued to hover around N990 and N1,100 despite the removal of Value Added Tax (VAT) on the product, oil marketers have said.

Ripples Nigeria reports that the Federal Government had waved VAT on diesel for the next six months as part of a deal with organised labour to avert the planned nationwide indefinite strike action by workers in the country.

Checks around filling stations across the country showed that diesel still sold for between N990 and N1,100/litre on Monday.
