The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) raised the pump price of petrol to ₦925 per litre on June 25, 2025, at several outlets across Lagos. This increase came just two days after a previous hike to ₦915. The meter never stops as market instability and refinery shifts drive repeated fuel adjustments.
- NNPC retail stations in areas like LASU Iba and Igando updated prices to ₦925/litre.
- Dangote refinery raised the ex-depot price to ₦880 and announced a nationwide distribution plan.
- The refinery acquired 4,000 CNG-powered tankers to expand logistics.
- Fuel marketers warned the move could centralize power and cause job losses in retail.
The meter never stops, especially when no one’s sure who’s driving. Each price hike isn't just arithmetic. It's emotional math: cutting groceries to afford transport, juggling one essential against another.
Where in your routine do you most feel like the meter never stops, no matter how careful you are?
