NNPC cuts the petrol price in N910 in Abuja in the middle of the global petroleum dip

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) has reduced the price of the pump of the Premium motor spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, at ₦ 910 per liter in its retail stations in Abuja, marking a significant ₦ 35 drop from the previous ₦ 945 per liter.

The platform met on Sunday that the price bar was observed in several stores in the capital of the nation, with some stations along Lugbe and Airport Roads selling petrol at ₦ 935 per liter.

This development comes in the wake of the drop in international raw prices. Brent Crude, the global benchmark, went down to $ 68.30 per barrel to June 4, triggering a chain effect in the mechanisms of local prices.

In a correlated move, the petroleum refinery of dance on 1 July has also announced a downward adjustment of its former petrol price at ₦ 840 per liter, reflecting the changes in progress in the global oil market and in the conditions of internal supply.

In the meantime, the Nigerian Midstream and the downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Nmdpra) have announced their intention to convene a forum of the parties concerned to deliberate on a structured picture of petrol prices.

The event, scheduled for 23 and 24 July, will bring together marketers, refineries, operators and government agencies to develop guidelines aimed at stabilizing the market downstream.

Speaking of the expected summit, Francis Ogaree, executive director for hydrocarbons processing systems at Nmdpra, said that the forum will face price standards, concerns about the supply and availability of raw materials.

While the reduction offers a measure of relief to the residents of Abuja who fight increasing living costs, petrol prices in other parts of the country, in particular in remote areas, remain significantly higher, highlighting the persistent issues of distribution inequality and logistical challenges.

The new price comes between public requests for transparency in the oil sector and the growing concerns about the silence of the federal government on requests for subsidies after the declaration of the deregulation of last year.

While the Nigerians await clarity on the future of fuel prices, the sector analysts say that further adjustments may depend on the result of the next Nmdpra summit and global oil trends.

In a special message to mark World Environment Day 2026, Badmos stressed that protecting the environment remains a shared responsibility that cannot be left to government alone, but must be driven by deliberate individual and community actions. He noted that the annual global observance serves as a reminder of the urgent need to safeguard the environment from worsening climate conditions, pollution and ecological degradation. “This year’s celebration reminds us that protecting the environment is not the exclusive responsibility of governments and institutions; it is a collective duty that begins with individual actions,” he said. The NES President urged members of the Abeokuta chapter to set an example by planting at least one tree each in their homes, workplaces or communities, describing tree planting as a practical step towards environmental sustainability. According to him, a single tree plays a critical role in carbon sequestration, air purification, erosion control, biodiversity conservation and broader climate change mitigation efforts. It also encouraged members to document and share evidence of their tree planting activities as part of efforts to promote responsibility and inspire broader public participation in environmental management. “The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago; the second best time is now,” Badmos said, urging immediate action rather than continued delays in addressing environmental challenges. He expressed optimism that sustained efforts to plant trees would help make Abeokuta greener, Ogun State healthier and Nigeria more resilient to environmental risks. Badmos reaffirmed NES’s commitment to ongoing support, awareness creation and practical interventions aimed at promoting a cleaner and more sustainable environment.
