Sunday, December 21, 2025 - Many filling stations across the country are yet to reduce their pump prices despite the latest reduction in price to N739 or N740 per litre by Dangote Refinery.
Our correspondents who have been tracking fuel prices over
the last few days found that many MRS retail outlets in Lagos and environs were
selling at N850 per litre, about N110 more than the announced price for the
product by the President, Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote.
Dangote had assured Nigerians that all MRS filling stations
would sell the product at N739 or N740 per litre.
At the MRS filling station at Alagbole, a border
town between Lagos and Ogun States, petrol sold for N850 per liter. Similarly,
MRS filling stations on Ekoro Road, Abule Egba, sold between N825 and N870 per
litre.
At BOVAS filling station in Ojodu, it was N820 per litre
while NNPC petrol station at Berger sold at N825.
A petrol attendant in an MRS station in Alagbole, told The
Nation that the price would be adjusted to N740 per litre from Monday.
“Yes, we are still selling at N850 per litre today
(yesterday) because we still have old stock. Once we take delivery of new stock
at the new gantry price, then we will adjust our price to N750 per litre,” the
female attendant said.
Other major marketers retail outlets like Mobil,
TotalEnergies, ConOil are still selling at between N850 and N890 per litre.
Reports from Oyo, Delta and Enugu States showed that petrol
price ranged between N830 and N900.
But the situation is different in Abuja where some filling
stations, including NNPC, Ardova, AA Rano, and Bovas all in Abuja have reduced
petrol prices, with MRS now selling at N739 per litre.
Some outlets in the nation’s capital are selling N70
cheaper, according to findings by our reporter.
Last week, The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association
of Nigeria (IPMAN) called on all its members nationwide to patronise the
Dangote Refinery in their purchase of premium motor spirit (PMS) or petrol,
noting that the refinery already offers the best affordable price for all
marketers, even as free delivery commences in January 2026.
IPMAN National President, Abubakar Maigandi, expressed
delight over a recent agreement by the Dangote Petroleum Refinery to begin the
supply of petrol directly to registered IPMAN members.
“We are also excited at the recent agreement by the Dangote
Refinery to begin the supply of PMS products directly to registered IPMAN
members and its free delivery to our filling stations anywhere and everywhere
in Nigeria which will commence in January 2026.
“This will again, certainly lead to further decrease in the
pump price of the products at our filing stations. Therefore, I am calling on
all IPMAN members nationwide to prioritise patronising the Dangote Refinery in
their purchase of PMS products, as they already offer the best affordable price
for all marketers today,” he said.
