Petrol price to rise N874 to N980-1000/litre from Tuesday
Nigerian petrol prices will increase by at least N75 per liter starting Tuesday, March 3, 2026, following Dangote Refinery's hike in the gantry price to N874. This follows Iran's attack on Saudi Arabia and Qatar, disrupting global oil supply and pushing Brent crude to $78.50/barrel. The price hike will affect all regions, with retailers expecting N980-1000/liter. Consumers should budget for higher transport costs and consider alternative routes or schedules. The federal government assures continued crude oil supply to refineries.
