Fuel prices have climbed again across parts of Nigeria, as filling stations linked to Dangote Refinery adjust to a recent hike in supply costs.

MRS outlets, which source products from the refinery, have raised their petrol pump price to about N1,267 per litre in areas like Abuja. This marks a N100 increase from the previous rate of N1,167 per litre.

The adjustment follows a move by the refinery to raise its gantry price the rate at which fuel is sold to marketers to N1,175 per litre. Station operators say the change in pump price directly reflects the higher cost of supply.
A station manager at MRS, who spoke anonymously, confirmed that the increase was unavoidable given the new pricing from the refinery.

Other retailers have also begun revising their prices. Optima filling stations, for example, reportedly increased their pump price by N50 to around N1,270 per litre. Meanwhile, outlets operated by Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited are selling slightly lower at about N1,261 per litre.

Across the market, several independent marketers including AA Rano, NIPCO, Eterna, Mobil, Empire Energy, and Raniol are now dispensing petrol within the range of N1,270 to N1,330 per litre in Abuja and nearby areas.

The upward trend in fuel prices comes amid ongoing instability in global oil markets. Rising tensions linked to the Iran-United States-Israel conflict escalation have contributed to crude oil price volatility.

As of the latest checks, Brent crude was trading around $97 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate hovered above $103 per barrel, adding further pressure to domestic fuel pricing.
