The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, has again reduced its premium motor spirit price.

In Abuja, on Monday morning, it was gathered that NNPCL retail outlets have reduced their fuel price to N815 per liter, down from N835.

This means that the NNPCL filling stations cut their price by N20.

The fresh price has been implemented at NNPCL filling stations in Wuse Zone 6 and 4 Abuja, Keffi-Abuja Road, and Kubwa Expressway.

An NNPCL filling station attendant, who preferred anonymity, told DAILY POST that the new price was implemented on Sunday evening.

However, the N815 per liter is N79 higher than the N739 per liter sold at Dangote Refinery’s backed MRS filling stations nationwide.

DAILY POST recalls that NNPCL on December 19, 2025, cut its price of petrol by N80 to N835 amid a price war among players in the country’s oil downstream sector triggered by Dangote Refinery’s gantry price reduction to N699 per liter.
