Petrol Landing Cost Drops to N981 Amid Global Price Decline
The landing cost of petrol in Nigeria has decreased to N981 per litre, down from N1,130, largely due to falling global crude oil prices, with Brent crude trading at $71.41 per barrel. This change coincides with major oil marketers beginning to import petrol and the Dangote Petroleum Refinery increasing local production after years of dependence on imports.
Despite the reduction in landing costs, pump prices remain high, with ex-depot prices varying between N865 and N1,400 across different cities. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) has indicated that petrol from the Dangote refinery will be priced above N1,000 per litre in many northern states.
Ongoing negotiations between NNPC and Dangote reflect the market-driven nature of fuel prices, and there is optimism that costs may decrease further with the expected sale of crude oil starting on October 1, 2024.
