BREAKING: FULL LIST of Top 10 States with the Cheapest Fuel as Marketers Slash Prices

Posted by Mcebisco May 3, 2026 23 Views

The latest National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) Price Watch for reveals significant variations in petrol prices across Nigeria, with some states recording relatively lower pump prices despite sustained volatility in the downstream oil market.

Although fuel prices remained elevated nationwide, the report highlights ten states where motorists paid the least for petrol in March.

Even so, many of these states posted sharp increases compared to February, reflecting persistent inflationary pressure and continued market adjustments following deregulation.

Fuel pricing trends have remained shaped by several factors, including the effects of subsidy removal, distribution and transportation costs, and supply chain dynamics in the downstream sector.

While prices remain under pressure, some state governments have responded with measures such as transport palliatives, budgetary interventions and growing investments in compressed natural gas (CNG) alternatives to ease the burden on residents.

Data also comes against a backdrop of heightened global uncertainty, with geopolitical tensions adding fresh pressure to energy markets.

The ongoing crisis in the Middle East has contributed to higher crude oil prices, raising inflation concerns worldwide, while instability around the Strait of Hormuz — a critical route for global oil shipments — has deepened fears over supply disruptions.

For an import-dependent market like Nigeria, such developments often feed directly into domestic fuel costs, pushing up transportation expenses and broader living costs. Historically, periods of global oil market tension have also intensified inflationary pressures in emerging economies, and current trends suggest those risks remain in play.

Favor As Higher Power?

(The hidden truth)

Some positions in life cannot be held or retained for long if you are not favored. Favor is higher power. You are not the only one desiring, deserving, connected, powerful or qualified. Some positions in life, opportunities, success, achievements, triumphs, selection, approvals, power and position, elevation, patronage, etc, are mainly through favor. Favor is silent, spiritual and higher power. For spiritual guidance, other solutions, call/Whatsapp Dr J.A. Faros on 07030514063. With God, all are possible.
