The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has implemented an upward adjustment of petrol pump prices, with the product now selling at N835 per litre in Lagos and N839 per litre in Abuja.
Market observations on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, confirmed that the national oil company’s retail outlets in both cities have updated their pumps to reflect the change.
This new rate marks a N50 increase from the previous price of N785 in Lagos, and a N20 rise from N815 in the Federal Capital Territory.

The price hike comes only a day after the Dangote Petroleum Refinery raised its ex-gantry price to N799 per litre.
David Bird, the Chief Executive Officer of the refinery, noted that the plant continues to provide approximately 50 million litres of petrol daily, ensuring that “nationwide evacuation and distribution remain seamless.”
Bird further highlighted the refinery’s technical capabilities, stating that its “operational flexibility allows it to process a wide range of crude and intermediate feedstocks, ensuring uninterrupted PMS supply even during planned maintenance activities.”
Following this pricing shift, the refinery indicated that its partner stations, such as MRS, would adjust their pump prices to N839 per litre, a significant increase from the previous festive-period rate of N739.
