How fuel prices are formed

Regulated

Floating

Low

Regulator

Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority

After the 2023 reforms, PMS subsidies were formally removed, but the 2024-2026 market remains politically sensitive and prices often follow NNPCL/state guidance rather than fully free competition.

Taxes and levies

VAT standard 7.5%, import-logistics costs, levies and dealer margins; the 15% import duty on PMS/AGO announced in 2025 was questioned by year-end and did not become a stable basis for retail pricing.

Subsidies

Partial/disputed: formally removed, but budgetary and FX mechanisms continue to influence.
