The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has announced another downward review in the pump price of petrol across some of its retail outlets.
Checks on Monday morning by Politics Nigeria showed that petrol is now selling for N815 per litre at several NNPCL filling stations in Abuja.
This represents a N20 reduction from the previous price of N835 per litre.
The new price has already taken effect at NNPCL stations located in parts of the Federal Capital Territory.
These include outlets around Wuse Zones 4 and 6, the Keffi–Abuja Road axis, as well as stations along the Kubwa Expressway.
According to information gathered at the stations, the adjustment was quietly implemented on Sunday evening.
Fuel attendants confirmed that the directive came from management and that sales were immediately adjusted to reflect the new rate.
Despite the latest cut, the NNPCL price remains higher than what is currently obtainable at some privately owned outlets. Petrol is selling for N739 per litre at MRS filling stations supplied by the Dangote Refinery, leaving a price gap of N79 per litre.
Industry watchers say the continued price movement reflects intense competition in Nigeria’s downstream oil sector. Operators are adjusting prices in response to changing supply dynamics and market pressure, especially from local refining sources.
Recall that in a related development reported earlier by Politics Nigeria, NNPCL had on December 19, 2025, reduced its pump price by N80.
That move came amid a growing price war triggered by Dangote Refinery’s decision to slash its gantry price to N699 per litre, forcing major marketers to review their rates nationwide.
The latest reduction signals that the competition in the petrol market is far from over, with consumers closely watching for further price drops in the coming days.
