Breaking: NNPCL Drops Petrol Price—Nationwide Jubilation Erupts Details

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has lowered the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly known as petrol, at its retail outlets in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

According to findings by DAILY POST, the price at NNPCL stations has been adjusted from ₦950 to ₦935 per litre.

Several drivers confirmed the change, noting that the revised pricing was already displayed at various filling stations across the city.

A resident of Kubwa, Abuja, Abdullahi Hashim, shared his observation: “I noticed the price drop to ₦935 per litre on Saturday morning. It’s a positive move. I first spotted the new price in Wuse Zone 4 on Friday. The NNPCL station along Kubwa Expressway is now showing the same.”

This adjustment comes shortly after Dangote Refinery announced a cut in its ex-depot petrol price from ₦865 to ₦835 per litre.

The refinery, which processes 650,000 barrels per day, stated that its distribution partners—including MRS and AP filling stations—are expected to sell petrol at prices ranging between ₦890 and ₦920 per litre, depending on the location.

However, as of this report, DAILY POST noted that MRS stations in Abuja have not sold petrol since Wednesday, April 16, 2025—the same day Dangote Refinery announced the price reduction.
