Petrol pump price was reduced from N1,060 to N1,040 per litre. This represents a reduction of N20.

This development comes barely three weeks after the state-owned Port Harcourt refinery began producing petroleum products in November 2024.

Oil marketers, the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, and the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association, PETROAN, had also hinted that the deregulation of the sector—coupled with the operations of Dangote and Port Harcourt refineries—would lead to a drop in petrol prices.
