Many filling stations across the country are yet to reduce their pump prices despite the latest reduction in price to 739 or 740 naira per litre by Dangote Refinery.
Correspondents who have been tracking fuel prices over the last few days found that many MRS retail outlets in Lagos and environs were selling at 850 naira per litre, about 110 naira more than the announced price for the product by the President, Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote.
Dangote had assured Nigerians that all MRS filling stations would sell the product at 739 or 740 naira per litre.
At the MRS filling station at Alagbole, a border town between Lagos and Ogun States, petrol sold for 850 naira per liter. Similarly, MRS filling stations on Ekoro Road, Abule Egba, sold between 825 naira and 870 naira per litre.
Last week, The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, called on all its members nationwide to patronise the Dangote Refinery in their purchase of petrol, noting that the refinery already offers the best affordable price for all marketers, even as free delivery commences in January 2026.
