Petrol price hits N1,430 as Dangote raises depot rate

The pump price of petrol has risen to as high as N1,430 per litre in parts of Abuja following an increase in the wholesale price of Premium Motor Spirit by the Dangote Petroleum Refinery.

The refinery raised its gantry price from N1,265 to N1,350 per litre, representing an N85 or 6.7 per cent increase, as international crude oil prices continued to climb.

The latest adjustment has already triggered fresh increases at filling stations across the Federal Capital Territory, with motorists paying between N1,395 and N1,430 per litre, depending on the outlet.

Checks in Abuja on Sunday showed that MRS filling stations had moved their pump price from N1,350 to N1,395 per litre, while NIPCO increased its price to N1,430. Mobil outlets also raised theirs to N1,400 per litre.

An attendant at an MRS outlet, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said motorists should expect another increase as stations begin receiving products purchased at the new depot price.

“We are currently selling our old stock at N1,395 per litre, but from tomorrow, once the new stock arrives, the price will be higher,” she said.

The development has raised concerns among economists and other stakeholders over its likely effect on transportation, food prices and the wider cost of living.

An economist and development expert, Aliyu Ilias, warned that another increase in petrol prices could push up inflation, arguing that higher fuel costs would eventually be reflected in transportation and production expenses.

Similarly, former Secretary-General of the Organisation of African Trade Union Unity, Owei Lakemfa, urged the Federal Government to strengthen regulation and economic planning to cushion consumers from fluctuations in global crude prices.

Lakemfa argued that domestic petrol prices should not automatically rise whenever geopolitical tensions cause crude prices to increase internationally, stressing that Nigeria’s status as a crude oil producer should give it an advantage in refining and supplying petroleum products locally.

Meanwhile, the National Publicity Secretary of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, Chinedu Ukadike, said marketers had been forced to adjust their pump prices following successive changes in the refinery’s pricing.

Ukadike said the frequent adjustments were creating uncertainty for both petroleum dealers and consumers because the cost of replacing existing stock could change within a short period.
