Iran War: Petrol hits N937/litre in Lagos, N975 in Abuja

 Lagos State and Abuja residents are facing fresh fuel price pressure as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, the nerve center of crude oil, continue to disrupt global energy markets, pushing crude oil prices above $80 per barrel and driving domestic petrol costs closer to N1,000 per litre.

Motorists, transport operators, and commuters across major cities woke up to sudden price adjustments at filling stations. For example, in Lagos, several fuel outlets raised Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) prices from N830 to about N937 per litre.

Industry sources linked the price surge to a recent upward review in ex-depot prices by Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals, which reportedly moved its gantry price from N774 to about N874–N875 per litre.
