Meanwhile, some petrol station attendants revealed they still had old stock in their tanks before Dangote Refinery’s announcement.

According to them, the new price will not be reflected immediately as marketers have yet to lift products from the facility’s latest price.

Petrol stations give reasons for retail oil prices

“We are still selling petrol at the oil price because we have not received the Dangote petrol, which is supposed to cost less, Olalekan Ojo, manager at First Royal filling station at Yaya Abatan Road, Ogba, said.

According to him, selling petrol at the new Dangote rate will lead to a loss for marketers and filling stations.

Stakeholders have hailed the Dangote refinery’s move, saying it will lower prices and promote competition nationwide.

Marketers reduce petrol prices

Legit.ng reported that oil marketers have slashed petrol prices in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja.

An investigation showed that some petrol stations reduced prices from N1,100 and N1,150 to N1,080 and N1,090, respectively.
