NMDPRA,noted It is imperative to State that like other petroleum products, Aviation Fuel has been fully deregulated, and the price is driven by market dynamics.
The prevailing Ex-Gantry price of Aviation Fuel at Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemical Company (DPRP) is N1,879 per litre, which is slightly lower than the international supply cost of N1,900 per litre in Lagos as of the 16th of April 2026.
Meanwhile, the nationwide retail prices surveyed by the NMDPRA as of 17th April 2026 range between N1,960 per litreto N2,800 per litre. Therefore, the speculated N3,300 per litreprice of Aviation Fuel being Reported by some media outlets does not reflect current market reality.
The NMDPRA, says in line with its mandate,
The Organization will continue to closely monitor the supply situation and take appropriate regulatory measures to prevent disruption of supply of petroleum products and profiteering across the country.
The Statement applauds the continued efforts of all stakeholders in the Aviation Fuel supply chain in ensuring adequate supply and distribution of the product, the public is hereby assured of NMDPRA’s continued commitment to guarantee energy security in the country.
