Fuel prices in Abuja have seen a recent adjustment, driven by competition among major suppliers and changes in global oil markets. Here’s the latest update on what motorists and businesses can expect at the pump.
🛢️ Current Petrol Prices in Abuja
As of mid to late July 2025:
- NNPC Retail Stations: ₦895 per litre
- Dangote-Affiliated Marketers (e.g. MRS): ₦885 per litre
- Other Independent Marketers: ₦910 to ₦915 per litre
These prices reflect a ₦15–₦20 drop from the previous average of ₦910–₦925 per litre in Abuja.
📉 Price Trend
This drop comes in response to growing market pressure from Dangote Refinery and recent ex-depot price reductions. NNPC’s move to lower fuel prices follows similar cuts in Lagos, where the price stands at ₦865 per litre.
🔍 Why Prices Are Changing
- Fuel Subsidy Removal: Full deregulation allows prices to follow market dynamics.
- Competitive Pressure: Dangote Refinery’s pricing is pushing NNPC and others to adjust.
- Global Crude Price Volatility: Changes in exchange rates and supply impact local pump prices.

| Fuel Provider | Price Per Litre (₦) |
|---|---|

🚗 Impact on Daily Life and Logistics
- Motorists: Commuters can save more at NNPC and Dangote-linked stations.
- Transport Operators: Lower fuel costs help reduce overhead and can stabilize fare prices.
- Businesses: Logistics and delivery firms in Abuja can re-strategize pricing based on the more competitive fuel environment.
✅ Final Thoughts
The fuel price in Abuja today sits between ₦885 and ₦915 per litre, depending on the marketer. NNPC’s price drop to ₦895 marks a strategic response to market competition. For businesses and everyday drivers, this means slight relief at the pump and an opportunity to optimize fuel usage.
