Petrol prices rise in Abuja following an increase by Dangote Petroleum Refinery in its gantry rate, which raises the cost of fuel for filling stations. Premium Times reports that the gantry price increases from N1,265 to N1,350 per litre, after which stations adjust their pump prices.
The Punch similarly links the Abuja price increase to Dangote’s higher gantry rate, describing it as the immediate driver of higher downstream costs at filling stations. Both outlets frame the change as a result of pricing passed through from the refinery’s logistics charges.
While both sources agree on the cause and Abuja location, the available excerpts differ mainly in how they describe the broader effects. Premium Times focuses on the specific gantry-rate figures, while The Punch emphasizes the broader impact of rising costs at the pump and the potential inflationary implications.
