Petrol prices have increased across Abuja, with independent petroleum marketers attributing the latest adjustment to repeated increases in the gantry price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) by the Dangote Refinery.

The Public Relations Officer of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Chief Chinedu Ukadike, said marketers had been forced to review their pump prices following a series of adjustments by the refinery over the past week.

According to him, the Dangote Refinery increased its gantry price from N1,165 per litre to N1,185 and subsequently to N1,200 per litre within seven days.
