Full list of Nigerian filling stations selling petrol at reduced rates

Several Nigerian petrol stations are still selling fuel at comparatively affordable rates despite rising depot prices, with NNPC Retail leading the group after cutting its pump price to N1,110 per litre on July 13, 2026, down from N1,170 per litre. The development offers temporary relief to motorists who have grown anxious over worsening fuel price volatility since importers issued notice to marketers of an impending price increase, effective July 17, 2026.

Stations still selling below N1,200

NNPC Retail stations cut their pump price to N1,110 per litre on July 13, 2026, down from N1,170. Lado Oil is another operator holding the line, retailing petrol at N1,150 per litre at a time when most competitors are charging N1,200. Across Abuja and neighbouring areas, pump prices have broadly remained between N1,155 and N1,205 per litre, though that relative stability is beginning to erode as higher depot costs filter through the supply chain.

Prices heading higher, expert warns

Several filling stations nationwide have already started moving their pump prices above N1,200 per litre, a trend that financial expert Osas Igho said will intensify rapidly. “Due to the notice issued by importers to marketers, petrol prices will hit N1,400 per litre in some parts of the country. It is a matter of days,” Igho told Legit.ng. He urged Nigerians to prepare for a more severe adjustment as Dangote Refinery and major depots effect what he described as the biggest price changes yet.

What is driving the surge

The pressure on retail prices stems primarily from a surge in ex-depot costs tied to rising global crude oil prices. Importers have passed those costs on to marketers, setting the stage for widespread upward adjustments at the pump across the country. Legit.ng previously reported that Dangote Petroleum Refinery increased the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) by N44 per litre, to N1,120 per litre, marking another significant adjustment as global crude oil prices continue to surge amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The latest increase came barely 24 hours after the refinery announced the suspension of naira-denominated fuel sales, directing marketers to pay for petroleum products in United States dollars.

Although Dangote Refinery has denied suspending petrol sales, global crude oil prices continue to weigh heavily on Nigeria's downstream market.

What this means for Nigerian motorists

For consumers, the brief window of lower prices at NNPC Retail and Lado Oil stations is unlikely to last. With ex-depot costs already at N1,200 per litre and importers signalling further increases from July 17, pump prices above N1,400 could become the new normal in many parts of the country. Motorists are advised to buy fuel now where prices remain low before the full impact of the latest adjustments hits the pumps.
