The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited says
petrol will be sold at N950.22 per litre across all its retail outlets in
Lagos.
In a social media post on Monday, the NNPC said the
estimated pump price is based on prices set by the Dangote refinery for its
petroleum products.
According to the price map shared by the NNPC, residents in
the northern part of Nigeria will pay more for the product, with those in Borno
expected to pay the highest petrol pump price of N1,019.22.
The commodity will be at N999.22 per litre in the federal
capital territory (FCT), Abuja.
“The NNPC Ltd also
wishes to state that, in line with the provisions of the Petroleum Industry Act
(PIA), PMS prices are not set by Government, but negotiated directly between
parties on an arms length,” the NNPC said.
“The NNPC Ltd can confirm that it is paying Dangote Refinery
in USD for September 2024 PMS offtake, as Naira transactions will only commence
on October 1st, 2024. The NNPC Ltd assures that if the quoted pricing is
disputed, it will be grateful for any discount from the Dangote Refinery, which
will be passed on 100% to the general public.
“Attached to this statement are the estimated pump prices of
PMS (obtained from the Dangote Refinery) across NNPC Retail Stations in the
country, based on September 2024 pricing.”

On September 15, the NNPC commenced petrol lifting at the
gantry of the refinery after a protracted period of price negotiations.
The development, touted as a panacea to Nigeria’s chronic
supply challenges, followed the deployment of NNPC’s trucks to the refinery on
September 14.
At the close of loading on Sunday, the NNPC had said it
bought petrol from Dangote refinery at N898 per litre.
However, the Dangote refinery countered the claim,
describing it as “both misleading and mischievous”.
