MRS Stations Slash Petrol Prices by ₦25 Per Litre

MRS filling stations have decreased the price of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) by ₦25 per litre, bringing the new price to ₦1,370, down from ₦1,395. This change was noted on September 28, 2026, at MRS outlets in Katampe and along the Lugbe Expressway in Abuja.

The reduction follows a week after the Dangote Refinery lowered its petrol gantry price by ₦25 per litre, from ₦1,350 to ₦1,325, leading to expectations that filling stations would pass on some of the savings to consumers. A motorist purchasing 50 litres of petrol will now spend ₦68,500 instead of ₦69,750, saving ₦1,250.

Despite this reduction, petrol prices remain inconsistent across Abuja, ranging from ₦1,370 to ₦1,450 per litre. The adjustment may pressure competing marketers to lower their prices if wholesale costs continue to decline.

Attention is now on other major filling station operators, including the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, as consumers anticipate further price reductions.
