As at today, 25th March, several fuel depots across Nigeria, including Rainoil in Lagos and Masters in Port Harcourt, are receiving fresh shipments of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) and Automotive Gas Oil (AGO). These deliveries are essential for maintaining stable fuel supply in key locations such as Lagos, Warri, Calabar, and Port Harcourt.

Fuel Supply and Market Impact
The arrival of these tankers will enhance fuel availability across Nigeria. With Dangote Refinery supplying AGO to Rainoil at Ijegun-Egba, NIPCO receiving PMS at Apapa, and Matrix preparing for discharge in Warri, these shipments are expected to stabilise fuel distribution. However, pricing remains subject to market forces, including global crude oil trends and foreign exchange rates.
As Rainoil, Masters, and other depots receive fresh fuel supplies, Nigeria’s distribution network remains active. The successful berthing of tankers at key jetties, including Apapa, Ijegun-Egba, Warri, and ASPM, ensures steady supply to retailers. Industry stakeholders will continue monitoring the fuel market to assess the impact of these deliveries on availability and pricing in the coming days.
