The announcement follows a recent petrol price adjustment by the Dangote Petroleum Refinery.

The PUNCH earlier reported that the refinery reduced its ex-depot petrol price from ₦828 to ₦699 per litre, representing a ₦129 cut or a 15.58 per cent reduction.

An official of the refinery, who spoke to PUNCH Online on condition of anonymity, confirmed the adjustment, saying, “The refinery has reduced petrol gantry price to ₦699 per litre.”

The new price reportedly took effect on December 11, 2025, marking the 20th petrol price adjustment announced by the refinery this year.

With this new development, Otedola, Chairman of First Holdco Ltd, parent company of First Bank of Nigeria Plc, will reportedly now concentrate on expanding his interest in the Nigerian banking sector, although he still retains some shares in Geregu.

Otedola is said to currently own 17.01 percent of First Bank — its single largest shareholder since the bank was established in 1894.

The Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Bayo Ojulari, has said Nigerians are the biggest beneficiaries of the ongoing fuel price reductions, triggered by competition in the downstream oil sector.

Ojulari made the remarks on Sunday while speaking with journalists after briefing President Bola Tinubu in Lagos.

He described the current fluctuations in petrol prices as a natural outcome of Nigeria’s transition away from dependence on fuel imports.

According to him, increased competition in the market ultimately favors consumers, adding that the present volatility will ease over time.

“Where there is healthy competition, the buyers are the ultimate beneficiaries. We should also bear in mind that the market will stabilise,” Ojulari said. “There may be some tension along the way because we are undergoing a major transition.”

His comments come amid an ongoing fuel price war that has resulted in successive reductions at petrol stations across the country in recent weeks.

Earlier in December 2025, Dangote Refinery cut its gantry price to about N699 per litre. Following this move, MRS filling stations, NNPCL outlets, and other marketers reduced pump prices to between N739 and N901 per litre in Abuja.
