Nigeria’s Petrol Landing Cost Drops to ₦971 per Litre, But Pump Prices Stay High

Published

on


The landing cost of petrol in Nigeria has fallen to ₦971 per litre in November 2024, down 20.23% from ₦1,219 in August, according to the Major Energies Marketers Association of Nigeria.

This reduction is due to changes in the Naira-to-dollar rate and lower global crude prices, with Brent crude now at $73.63 per barrel and the Naira trading at ₦1,678.87 per dollar.

Despite this decrease, petrol remains costly at the pump, with prices between ₦1,060 and ₦1,200 per litre across various stations.

Ex-depot prices from Dangote Refinery range from ₦960 for petrol transported by ships to ₦990 by trucks.

The Nigeria Labour Congress has raised concerns about consumer affordability, noting that pump prices still exceed expected market rates.
