Many filling stations across Nigeria have yet to reduce their pump prices despite Dangote Refinery’s cut in ex depot price, which should see petrol sell at about N739 or N740 per litre.

Dangote targets N739 per litre petrol as refinery cuts depot price

MRS and other partners of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery are expected to start selling petrol at N739 per litre, following a fresh reduction in the refinery’s depot price.

He insisted that the current prices of around N900 to N970 per litre at some outlets […]
