The Major Energies Marketers Association of Nigeria, MEMAN on Thursday revealed that the landing cost of Premium Motor Spirit dropped to N981.08 per litre in September 2024 from N1,130 in July.
MEMAN disclosed this in its Competency Centre Energy Bulletin data released on Thursday.
The data showed that the landing of PMS dropped by N148.92 per litre in the period under review.
The drop is attributed to the persistent fluctuation of Crude oil prices at the global market to around $70 per barrel and $75 in September 2024 from $80 traded in August
However, Nigerians buy Petrol between N950 and N1,100 depending on the location.

The state-owned oil firm had stated that it bought the domestic petrol produced by Dangote Refinery at N898 per litre, however,
but failed to reveal the price of its product.
