Dangote Refinery has increased its petrol price to N1,265 per litre, following a sharp rise in Nigeria's fuel imports. According to a survey conducted by DAILY POST, the refinery raised its petrol price by N65 per litre. The increase, which brought the gantry petrol price to N1,265 per litre, occurred between August 21 and August 29, 2026.
Dangote Refinery had previously attributed the surge in fuel imports to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA). Industry data from NMDPRA for July indicated that fuel imports comprised 43.3 percent of the country's supply, while Dangote Refinery supplied 56.7 percent domestically. This price hike could lead to an increase in retail petrol prices, currently ranging between N1,230 and N1,275 per litre at filling stations in Abuja.
