Abuja Motorists Still Pay High Petrol Prices Despite Dangote’s ₦25 Cut

Motorists and commuters in Abuja say filling stations have yet to reflect Dangote Refinery’s ₦25-per-litre cut in its petrol gantry price to ₦1,325. A check of several outlets found pump prices still ranging from ₦1,395 to ₦1,430 per litre. The continued high prices are increasing transport costs and placing more pressure on household budgets. Independent marketers say many operators bought petrol before the latest reduction and may need time to sell existing stock without suffering major losses. They also cited volatility in global crude oil prices as a factor affecting pump prices. Commuters fear that sustained high petrol prices will further raise transport fares and food costs, as traders pass delivery expenses on to consumers.
