Aiteo, Integrated and Wosbab also trimmed their rates. However, Pinnacle bucked the trend, raising its price slightly from N1,200 to N1,205 per litre, while Techno Oil held firm at N1,200.
Petroluemprice.ng data shows that outside Lagos, Masters in Port Harcourt cut its depot price from N1,248 to N1,225 per litre, while Matrix lowered its rate marginally from N1,250 to N1,248.

NMDPRA assures Nigerians of adequate petrol supply
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) had assured Nigerians that the country had sufficient petroleum products to meet domestic demand.
The regulator urged consumers to avoid panic buying and hoarding of petroleum products ahead of the festive season.
According to the agency, supplies of diesel (AGO), petrol (PMS) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) remain adequate to meet the country's consumption needs.
