Dis one follow di increase for global crude oil price, as Brent crude don pass $100 per barrel becos of fresh trouble for Middle East.

New loading data wey we get from petroleum marketers show say ex-depot prices don go up for Lagos, Warri and Calabar.

For Lagos, A.A. Rano increase their ex-depot price from N1,275 to N1,279 per litre; while African Terminal, Ascon, Gulf Treasure, Integrated and T.Time too increase their own to N1,275.

Aiteo, Heyden and Nipco leave their price as N1,275; but Emadeb do wetin different, as dem reduce price from N1,278 to N1,274 per litre.

Dangote Refinery, wey be di main fuel supplier, don start gantry loading of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) for naira again on Thursday, after one week wey dem stop am, while dem increase ex-depot petrol price to N1,215 per litre.

Di refinery don stop gantry and coastal loading since July 15, afta dem bring dollar pricing template for refined petroleum products.

With dis new adjustment, ex-depot price don increase by N140 per litre, wey be 13.02 per cent rise from di former price of N1,075 per litre.

Dangote Refinery talk say dem face wahala to get enough crude oil under di federal government naira-for-crude arrangement, and dat one make dem bring dollar-based transactions.

For di temporary dollar-based pricing template, dem sell PMS at $0.779 per litre, Automotive Gas Oil (diesel) at $1.087 per litre, and Jet A1 aviation fuel at $0.942 per litre.

Meanwhile, residents dey complain say marketers dey quick to increase pump price anytime e rise, but dem dey delay to reduce am when price come down.

But marketers no bring price down below N1,000, even though dem dey sell PMS for N700 per litre before di US-Iran war.

Di federal government even call marketers make dem ensure fuel price reflect di drop for international crude price. But no big reduction happen before di fresh trouble start.

“My salary no change, but I dey spend plenty money just to go work and come back. E dey hard to survive for Abuja,” she talk.

Anoda resident, Musa Ibrahim, warn say higher transport cost go make food price increase too.
“Transportation dey affect everything. Farmers, traders and transporters go just add di extra cost to customers. Ordinary Nigerians na dem dey carry di load,” he talk.
