In this article, we will look at the current price of petrol in Nigeria, the factors that affect it, and some frequently asked questions about it.

Current Price of Petrol in Nigeria

As of June 20, 2024, the official pump price of petrol (PMS) in Nigeria is ₦557 per litre according to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL). This significant increase follows the removal of the fuel subsidy by the government, which raised the price from ₦195 per litre.

However, due to logistics and other location-specific factors, the actual price of petrol may differ across the country.

Factors Affecting the Price of Petrol in Nigeria

  • Global Oil Prices: Nigeria imports refined petroleum products due to insufficient refining capacity. The price of petrol in Nigeria is thus highly dependent on the international market price of crude oil, which fluctuates based on global supply and demand dynamics and geopolitical events.
  • Exchange Rate: The exchange rate of the naira to the US dollar significantly impacts the cost of importing petrol. A weaker naira increases the cost of imports, thereby affecting the domestic price of petrol.
  • Subsidy Policy: The Nigerian government has historically subsidized petrol prices to keep them affordable. However, in 2023, the government removed these subsidies, resulting in a substantial price hike from ₦195 to ₦617 per litre. The removal was intended to reduce government spending and redirect funds to other critical sectors.
  • Supply and Demand: Domestic supply chain disruptions (e.g., pipeline vandalism, refinery issues) and fluctuating demand (e.g., economic activities, seasonal variations) also influence petrol prices. Limited supply or increased demand typically drives prices higher.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Price of Petrol in Nigeria
