Nigerian Filling Stations Cut Petrol to N1,205 as Dangote Lowers Gantry Price to N1,075

Summary

  • Nigerian filling stations in Abuja and nearby areas cut petrol prices to N1,205-N1,240 per litre from N1,300, with AA Rano, Ranoil and NIPCO among outlets adjusting rates.
  • Dangote Refinery triggered the latest move by reducing its petrol gantry price on Thursday to N1,075 per litre after crude prices fell to about $68 for WTI and $72 for Brent.
  • MRS and state-owned NNPCL had already lowered Abuja pump prices earlier to N1,191 and N1,210 per litre, showing the refinery cut was quickly filtering through retail markets.
  • Petrol prices still remain above N1,000 per litre, the level seen before the Middle East conflict pushed fuel costs higher across Nigeria.
