Petrol prices drop N22 at depots
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that petrol prices in Calabar and Port Harcourt fell below Dangote Petroleum Refinery's ex-gantry price as depot operators compete for buyers amid increased product availability.
Market data obtained by Petroleumprice.ng showed that petrol prices across selected depots in Calabar ranged between N1,303 and N1,310 per litre.
The development meant some depots in the two markets were selling petrol below Dangote Refinery's N1,325 per litre ex-gantry rate.
