The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, has increased the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit, popularly known as petrol, at its retail outlets in Abuja and surrounding areas.
A market check on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, showed that NNPCL filling stations had adjusted their petrol price to N1,270 per litre, up from N1,250, representing an increase of N20 per litre.
The latest increase comes despite the expansion of Dangote Refinery’s free petrol delivery initiative to 10 destinations across Nigeria, including Abuja, where the product is reportedly available at N1,185 per litre.
Earlier, MRS filling stations also increased their pump price by N20, selling petrol at N1,230 per litre.
Following the latest adjustment, petrol at NNPCL outlets is now between N15 and N40 per litre more expensive than prices at some other filling stations, including MRS, Geregu, Ranoil, Emedab and Mobil, across Abuja and its environs.
However, some filling stations, including Empire and AA Rano, were selling petrol at higher prices ranging from N1,275 to N1,299 per litre.
The latest development means motorists and other consumers in Abuja and neighbouring areas are currently purchasing petrol at prices ranging from N1,230 to N1,299 per litre, depending on the filling station.
