There are indications that the pump prices of diesel and petrol may rise in the domestic market due to a 3.84% increase in the price of Nigeria’s Bonny Light crude oil to $67.50 per barrel. According to Vanguard, four depot owners, including First Fortune, Chisco, Chipet, and Master Energy, have increased the price of diesel or petrol.

(link unavailable) notes that the depot prices of petroleum products will continue to be dynamic due to instability in the global oil market, which may lead to further adjustments in pump prices.
