3. Lagos: N1,100.29 – the Dangote Petroleum Refinery has made several ex-depot petrol price reductions, but many marketers have refused to adjust their pump prices.
4. Sokoto: N1,100.00 – no month-on-month change, but a significant increase from N723.33 in June 2024
5. Zamfara: N1,096.81 – one of the worst affected by the fuel subsidy removal, with consumers groaning over the hike in petrol prices.
6. Anambra: N1,088.20 – a slight increase from N1,084.13 in May 2025 and a significant increase from N779.42 in June 2024.
7. Adamawa: N1,083.40 – an increase from N1,053.40 in May 2025 and N741.67 in June 2024.
8. Niger: N1,067.41 – an increase from N991.08 in May 2025 and N704.47 in June 2024. The state governor has been actively involved in monitoring and regulating petrol prices.
9. Delta: N1,067.34 – a stable price compared to May 2025, but an increase from N785.71 in June 2024. The Warri refinery is expected to influence petrol prices in the state.
10. Kaduna: N1,064.79 – an increase from N1,020.83 in May 2025, and N709.58 in June 2024.
The report highlights the ongoing disparities in fuel distribution and transportation costs across the country, with some states recording pump prices well above the national average. The high petrol prices in these states are likely to drive up operational costs and increase the cost of goods and services.
