Petroleum depots have raised petrol prices amid reports that the Dangote Petroleum Refinery has temporarily halted loading operations, deepening supply shortages and pushing retail pump prices closer to ₦1,000 per litre across major Nigerian cities.
The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) confirmed that depot operators raised prices after the refinery suspended fuel loading last week, a move that has disrupted nationwide distribution and triggered panic buying.
Checks across Lagos, Ogun, Abuja, Rivers, and Edo show that petrol now sells between ₦900 and ₦955 per litre, while some filling stations in Sokoto and parts of the Federal Capital Territory charge as high as ₦1,000.
