NNPCL Reduces Petrol Price Again

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has once more cut the pump price for Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly referred to as petrol or fuel, at its filling stations.

Checks by newsmen across parts of Abuja on Monday morning, January 5, revealed that NNPCL filling stations have adjusted their petrol price downward to ₦815 per litre, from the previous ₦835 per litre.

The latest adjustment represents a ₦20 reduction in the pump price at NNPCL outlets.

Daily Post reports that the fresh price has already been implemented at several NNPCL retail outlets across the Federal Capital Territory.

These include NNPCL filling stations located in Wuse Zone 6 and Wuse Zone 4, along the Keffi–Abuja Road, as well as on the Kubwa Expressway.

An attendant at one of the NNPCL stations, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the development.

“The new price was implemented on Sunday evening,” the attendant told Daily Post.

Despite the latest reduction, the ₦815 per litre pump price remains ₦79 higher than the price sold at Dangote Refinery-backed MRS filling stations across the country.

MRS stations currently dispense petrol at ₦739 per litre nationwide, following recent price cuts linked to Dangote Refinery’s reduced gantry price.

NNPCL had earlier, on December 19, 2025, slashed the pump price of petrol by ₦80, bringing it down to ₦835 per litre.

The reduction came amid an intensifying price war in Nigeria’s oil downstream sector, triggered by Dangote Refinery’s decision to cut its gantry price to ₦699 per litre.

Ongoing adjustments by major players in the sector continue to influence retail prices nationwide, with consumers closely monitoring further changes at filling stations.
