MEMAN opens up on factors affecting petrol pricing in Nigeria
The Major Energies Marketers Association of Nigeria, MEMAN, has elaborated on the various factors that affect petrol pricing in Nigeria.
MEMAN noted that key cost elements consist of the jetty location, specifically mentioning ASPM, along with a standard product quantity set at 38,000 metric tonnes.
The Chief Executive Officer of MEMAN, Clement Isong, made this information available on Wednesday during a quarterly webinar hosted by the association for energy reporters.
The CEO of MEMAN, during a discussion on ‘Fuel Pricing,’ said, “The pricing methodology relies on the Argus Gasoline Euro-Bob benchmark for West African deliveries, combined with an average premium.
“The exchange rate is derived from the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) weighted average rate within the Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market (NFEM), which significantly impacts the final price.
“Other local charges include those imposed by the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) for services, such as towage, berthage, and cargo handling, as well as contributions to NIMASA at two per cent of local freight and regulatory fees from the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), which add a combined one per cent levy.”
NOTE: The exchange rate changes hourly. It depends on the volume of dollars available and the Demand. This means that…you can buy or sell 1 dollar at a certain rate and the price can change (high or low) within hours.

Naira appreciated against the dollar on Wednesday at the official foreign exchange market after the Eid-el-Fitr holidays.
The Central Bank of Nigeria’s data showed that the naira strengthened to N1,531.25 per dollar on Wednesday from N1,536.82 recorded last Friday.
This means that the naira gained N5.57 per dollar on a day-to-day basis.
Meanwhile, on the black market, the naira depreciated to N1,555 per dollar on Wednesday from N1,550 traded on Friday before the Eid-el-Fitr holidays.
Meanwhile, recall that over the weekend, the Central Bank of Nigeria announced that the Net Foreign Exchange Reserve, NFER, stood at $23.11 billion, the highest level in over three years.
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has dismissed claims that it has introduced new N5,000 and N10,000 notes, labeling the reports as false.
In a statement posted on X on Wednesday, the apex bank debunked the rumors, stating: “This content is NOT from the Central Bank of Nigeria. Kindly note that the official website of the CBN is cbn.gov.ng.”
The clarification comes amid widespread misinformation suggesting that the CBN planned to roll out high-denomination banknotes to reduce cash-handling costs and improve liquidity management.
Some versions of the false reports even attributed comments to a supposed Deputy Governor, Dr. Ibrahim Tahir Jr., claiming the notes would be introduced on May 1, 2025.
