Similarly, the new pump price has been implemented in several filling stations across Kogi and Nasarawa states, reflecting a ₦65 increment.

This development follows last weekend’s increase by independent petroleum marketers and filling station owners in Abuja, who adjusted their prices to between ₦950 and ₦971 per litre.

Their decision was attributed to the recent upward review of the ex-depot petrol price by Dangote Refinery to ₦858 per litre, up from ₦820.

Findings carried out on Monday, indicate that petrol is selling for as high as ₦910 per litre in some parts of Kwara State, while some filling stations in Ilorin, the state capital, are selling between ₦870 and ₦885 per litre.

This development comes amid a decision by OPEC+, a group comprising non-members of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, to raise oil production by 547,000 barrels per day for September.
