Some Nigerian filling stations reduced fuel pump prices on Tuesday after Dangote Refinery’s N100 per liter gantry price cut.
It was gathered that Ranoil and Sharon filling stations in Abuja slightly dropped fuel prices by N20 to N1,330 per liter on Tuesday from N1,350.
Meanwhile,Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited retail outlets, MRS and AA Rano, raised their pump price on Tuesday morning to between N126,000 and N1,330 per liter as of Tuesday evening from around N1,090 per liter on Monday. These filling stations are yet to respond to Dangote Refinery’s gantry drop and the drop in global crude prices.
It was gathered that Automotive Gas Oil, known as diesel, has remained unchanged at N1,780 at Ranoil, AA Rano, and other filling stations in Abuja.
A manager at MRS filling station in Abuja who preferred anonymity confirmed to DAILY POST that their petrol price stood at N126,000 and did not say if the price may drop in the coming days following Dangote’s gantry price drop and crude oil price decline.
Speaking to DAILY POST on the development, the National President of the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria, Billy Gillis-Harry, said filling stations may adjust their fuel price downward from now to Friday.
“An adjustment may come from now to Friday since Dangote refinery cut gantry price to N1,075 per liter today,” he told DAILY POST.
Meanwhile, there are reports that Dangote Refinery has suspended gantry petrol sales since Sunday, a development that may make Tuesday’s gantry price drop ineffective.
