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.
