For instance, an Ardova filling station in Ikotun has set its price at N970 per litre, while Mobil and Matrix filling stations are selling at N960 per litre.
A fuel attendant told Legit.ng that the price has remained the same for the past three days.
"Our manger adjusted the fuel price we are selling from N980 to N960 some days ago, I guess it is because of the Dangote price slash.
Ardova is expected to reduce its pump prices soon, as it is one of the major marketers with an agreement with Dangote.
Dangote fuel price
The current price of fuel represents a significant gap from the ex-depot price announced by Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
Legit.ng reported that Dangote reduced the ex-depot (gantry) price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, from N950 to N890, effective Saturday, February 1, 2025.
In its statement announcing the price reduction, the refinery stated that it believes this reduction from N950 to N890 will lead to a meaningful decrease in the cost of petrol nationwide.
