However, there was a higher landing cost pressure on PMS at import parity estimates, with N1,212.75 per litre (30-day average) versus N1,362.55 and N1,361.54 per litre recorded as spot price at ASPM and NPSC jetties.
Petrol price changes
Dangote gantry price is listed at about N1,275 per litre, and coastal estimates near N1,215 per litre, indicative of a discount toward the upper end of import parity estimates.
For diesel (AGO), import parity spot estimates at the jetties are near N1,750 per litre while Dangote gantry pricing is close to 1,800 per litre. Coastal supply levels are markedly lower at near 1,443 per litre, revealing considerable markups between various logistics/delivery points.
In aviation fuel (ATK), import parity spot values hover near 1,679 per litre; Dangote gantry prices are closer to N1,650 per litre, indicating that jet fuel pricing is at near parity with slight deviations to both sides based on supply chain and financing assumptions.
