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.

IPMAN to Reduce Fuel Prices After Dangote Refinery’s Petrol Price Drop

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) says it will announce a new, lower petrol price on Monday, following the recent price slash by Dangote Refinery. Dangote Refinery had dropped its ex-depot price for petrol from N840 to N820 per litre on Thursday, prompting IPMAN to consider adjusting its rates in response.
Speaking on the development, IPMAN President, Abubakar Maigandi, said the association is aligning with the move and will meet to finalize a fresh price cut for petrol. “Our members will also reduce their prices,” Maigandi said. “We’ll make an official announcement on the new fuel price after our meeting on Monday.”
As of Friday, filling stations across Abuja were selling petrol at varying prices, between N905 and N945 per litre. While NNPC, NIPCO, AA Rano, and Shema outlets were dispensing around N910, Dangote-linked stations like AP and Ardova offered it slightly lower at N905. Others, including Ranoil, Empire Energy, and Total Emadeb, were selling at the higher end, up to N945.
