Loading of the Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, also known as petrol on trucks for oil marketers has resumed at the Dangote Refinery.
They had stopped loading with the suspension of Naira for crude programme, rising price of crude oil and foreign exchange issues.
While loading by ships on dollar basis continued, the $20 billion refinery requested oil marketers, having an arrangements with it to “top up” payment so they can be supplied petrol.
However, checks by Vanguard indicated that many companies, including MRS Oil & Gas, which complied, were being loaded at N880 per litre, yesterday.
A reliable industry source, who confirmed the development, said: “Loading by trucks has commenced for oil marketing companies, which have added more monies.”
Meanwhile, petrol prices have risen across the country, with new pump and depot prices reaching up to N960 per litre and N900 per litre, according to the latest price list, obtained from MRS Oil and Gas by Vanguard.
The adjustments, which became effective from March 28, 2025, indicated higher prices across major cities, with Lagos having the lowest rates and northern states recording the highest.
In Lagos, petrol will sell for N930 per litre, while states in the South West, including Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Kwara, and Ondo, will pay N940 per litre.
Also, in the South South and South East regions, including Edo, Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Rivers, Cross River, and Enugu, the product would be sold at N960 per litre.
