Motorists have been abandoning Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) filling stations and other petrol retailers offering higher prices. Corporations like MRS, AA Rano, and Sharon have decreased their petrol prices, prompting a decline in NNPCL's patronage. An attendant at an NNPCL Abuja station reported a drastic drop in customers on Monday, who are complaining about the high fuel prices.
Another attendant noted that sales were minimal, with only a few motorists purchasing petrol. Several filling station workers echoed this sentiment, expressing hope for a price reduction. While some filling stations have reduced their prices, NNPCL and others have maintained their fuel prices between N1,299 and N1,310 per litre.
The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria suggests NNPCL may not have received or stocked products from Dangote Refinery, which has also cut its petrol price. Concerns about anti-competitive pricing are being raised by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority.
