The price of 1 litre of fuel in Nigeria varies depending on the filling station, state and current supply costs.
As of early September 2026, petrol is selling at roughly ₦1,300 to ₦1,400 per litre at many filling stations, although some locations are charging more. For example, recent reports put NNPCL’s price at about ₦1,299 per litre in Lagos and up to ₦1,345 per litre in parts of Abuja. (Legit.ng – Nigeria news.)
Why the Price Is Different
Fuel prices can vary across Nigeria because of:
- Depot and wholesale prices
- Transportation and distribution costs
- Crude oil prices
- Exchange-rate movements
- Local supply and demand
- Location of the filling station
This means there is no single pump price that applies to every filling station in the country.
How Much Does Fuel Cost for a Journey?
Your total fuel cost depends on the vehicle’s fuel consumption and the distance travelled. For example, if petrol costs ₦1,300 per litre and a vehicle uses 10 litres, the fuel cost would be ₦13,000.
For longer journeys and commercial transportation, fuel can make up a significant part of the total travel or delivery cost.
