The adjustment means petroleum marketers and retailers will pay more to obtain petrol from the 650,000-barrel-per-day facility.
The National President of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Abubakar Maigandi, confirmed the development in an interview on Friday.
“The new ex-depot price of petrol at the refinery is N850 per litre,” Maigandi said. He added that the refinery has resumed petrol sales after suspending supply last week.
The adjustment means petroleum marketers and retailers will pay more to obtain petrol from the 650,000-barrel-per-day facility.
Earlier this week, between last weekend and Monday, marketers — including the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) — raised pump prices in Abuja to N955 per litre before lowering them to N900.
Other outlets, such as Ranoil, AA Rano, and Empire Energy, currently sell petrol at between N950 and N955 per litre in the capital.
The increase marks a N30 hike in the refinery’s ex-depot rate.
