Tuesday, October 14, 2025 - The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has increased the pump price of petrol from N865 to N992 per litre, marking a fresh hike in fuel costs across the country.
As of press time, no official explanation had been provided
for the sudden adjustment. However, attendants at several NNPC retail outlets
confirmed receiving directives to update their pump meters to reflect the new
price.
At the NNPC station on Ogunusi Road, Ojodu Berger, Lagos,
staff told The Nation that they had been instructed to switch the price to N992
per litre. Meanwhile, a visit to other outlets, including those in Ibafo along
the Lagos–Ibadan expressway, showed that while some still displayed the
previous rate of N875 per litre, they were not dispensing fuel to motorists.
Many NNPC stations across the region were also observed to
be closed or not selling petrol as of Monday, October 13.
The development comes amid growing reports of petrol
scarcity in parts of the country, with Abuja recently experiencing long queues
linked to a reported dispute involving Dangote Refinery and the Petroleum and
Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN).
