MRS Increases Petrol Price to N950 in Abuja and N930 in Lagos
MRS filling stations, a partner of Dangote Refinery, have raised petrol prices to N930 per litre in Lagos and N950 per litre in Abuja.
On Saturday, the MRS station along Kubwa Expressway in Abuja was already selling at the new rate, marking an increase of N70 to N80 per litre from the previous prices of N860 and N880.
A motorist in Abuja reacted to the price hike, saying it was expected after Dangote Refinery announced that it had stopped selling petrol in Naira.
The refinery had revealed on March 19 that it would no longer conduct petrol sales in local currency, a move that has now led to adjustments in pump prices across several stations.
Other filling stations in Abuja have also increased their rates. Empire Filling Station in Gwarimpa, for instance, raised its price to N975 per litre from N945.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) maintained its pump price at N880 per litre in Abuja as of Saturday evening.
Ecobank Group is reportedly set to raise up to $250 million through an Additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital offering in order to strengthen the bank’s capital base.
This was revealed during the company’s annual general meeting held in Togo on the 29th of May, 2025. According to the meeting, the bank stated that the conversion price for the shares will be based on the higher of the prevailing exchange rate and the floor price of $0.02 per ordinary share.
The speaker stated “As we cast our eyes into the future and reimagine all possibilities—rising competition from banks, fintechs, and non-bank financial institutions, as well as factors such as geopolitics, regulations, and capital markets—we cannot afford complacency.”
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) recently assured stakeholders about the state of the banking sector in Nigeria, stating that the banking sector can still be trusted and is secure.

The CBN also highlighted the security of the deposits entrusted to it, stating, “There is no reason for the public to worry about the security of their deposits.” The extent of the measures and security in place was also emphasized by the director in the statement.
Nigerian Businessman Dr. Cosmos Maduka analyzes popular Billionaire, Aliko Dangote and describes him as the biggest debtor in Nigeria.
The businessman highlighted the fact that people who seem to have the most money are often the largest debtors.
“The number one debtor in Nigeria is Aliko Dangote. He’s the wealthiest man in Africa. The number one debtor in the world is the United States of America and you call them the richest in the world.”
“As you admire all of those things, it’s all credit. It’s all about credit. So you should leverage on loan, but you have to have a good structure that will support that loan.”
