MRS Increases Petrol Price to N955 Per Litre as Oil Price Goes Up
MRS filling stations, a key partner of Dangote Refinery, has announced a new petrol price hike, raising its pump prices across the country. In a price update shared on its official X page on Saturday, the company revealed that the new rates now range from N925 to N955 per litre, up from the previous N825 to N895 range.
This means petrol will now sell for N925 in Lagos, N935 in the South-west, N955 in the North-west and South-east, N945 in the North-central, and N955 in the North-east. For Lagos and Abuja, motorists will now pay N925 and N945 per litre at MRS stations, an increase from N875 and N895 respectively.
Meanwhile, NNPC retail stations have kept their pump prices unchanged at N875 in Lagos and N895 in Abuja as of Saturday evening. The nationwide increase comes amid rising global crude oil prices triggered by tensions in the Middle East, particularly the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict.
It has been noted that there is now an increase in fuel all around Nigeria, from … to 1000 plus in fuel stations.
It was also noted that Dangote Petroleum Refinery increased the price to 1,175 per litre and diesel has been increased to 1,620 per litre.
This new spike in fuel increase has caused Nigerians to lament widely, wondering why this change happened all of a sudden.
