Check-out Petrol Pump Prices Across Nigeria, Following Dangote Refinery’s Suspension of Naira for Crude
With the suspension of Naira for crude programme, rising price of crude oil and foreign exchange issues, Dangote refinery has stopped loading of trucks, based on Naira.
This has caused petrol pump prices to skyrocket across Nigeria and depot prices reaching up to N960 per litre and N900 per litre.
The adjustments, which became effective from March 28, 2025, indicated higher prices across major cities, with Lagos having the lowest rates and northern states recording the highest.
In Lagos, petrol will sell for N930 per litre, while states in the South West, including Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Kwara, and Ondo, will pay N940 per litre.
Also, in the South South and South East regions, including Edo, Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Rivers, Cross River, and Enugu, the product would be sold at N960 per litre.
In Abuja, Kaduna, Benue, Kogi, Niger, Sokoto, Kebbi, and Nasarawa will pay N950 per litre, while Zamfara, Kano, Jos, Bauchi, Taraba, Adamawa, Borno, Katsina, Jigawa, Gombe, and Yobe will pay N960 per litre.
The naira-for-crude arrangement was originally designed to enhance domestic fuel supply, curb import costs, and stabilise pump prices.
Under the scheme, Dangote Refinery has received 48 million barrels of crude oil in naira since October 2024, with an overall supply of 84 million barrels since it began operations in 2023.
