Nigerians Pay Up to N1,440 per Litre for Petrol on Workers’ Day
Petrol prices across Nigeria jumped sharply over Workers’ Day weekend. Major marketers now charge between N1,364 and N1,370 per litre. Some independent outlets have pushed prices as high as N1,440. This surge follows recent gantry price hikes by Dangote Refinery and depot owners. They blamed rising global crude benchmarks, which climbed past $100 per barrel amid tensions in the Middle East and shifts in OPEC membership. The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria warns that volatile international oil costs continue to drive domestic pump prices higher. Many Nigerians are calling on the government to step in as the cost of living strains household budgets.
