Dangote Refinery Reduces Fuel Price Nationwide, Provides Update On Petrol Distribution

Dangote Refinery has lowered the retail price of its premium motor spirit across the country.

This is as it announced Monday, September 15, 2025, as the new date to begin the direct petrol distribution initiative.

The initiative, which Dangote Group had earlier announced would kick off on August 15, 2025, would see the $20 billion plant distribute petrol and diesel to consumers with its 4,000 compressed natural gas trucks at zero logistics cost.

The 650,000-barrel-per-day refinery said its new gantry price is N820 per litre, the same price announced last month.

The company, which is currently in a face-off with the Nigerian Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), disclosed this in a fresh price template released by Dangote Group on its X account.

With the new price template, in Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, and Ekiti, Dangote Refinery’s petrol retail price stands at N841 from N860 per litre.

In Abuja, Edo, Delta, Rivers and Kwara states, the largest African refinery’s retail price is N851, down from N885 per litre.

This means that Dangote Refinery will deliver its petrol directly to willing consumers in Lagos and the South-west states at a reduced retail price of N19, while in Abuja, North Central, and the South-South, it will be a N34 reduction.

It stressed that the new price template and direct fuel distribution scheme are expected to take effect on Monday, September 15, 2025.

Meanwhile, the Dangote Refinery price template is not binding on petroleum marketers and retailers except MRS and its other distribution partners.

NUPENG on Thursday announced that it may return to strike against Dangote Group, alleging that the company reneged on its recent resolutions.

However, Dangote Group said it respects the voluntary membership of unions by its workers.

2027: Why Goodluck Jonathan Will Not Run Under PDP – Dele Momodu

Dele Momodu, a member of the African Democratic Congress, ADC has claimed former President Goodluck Jonathan will not contest the 2027 presidential election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
He spoke on Friday while fielding questions on Channels Television’s Sunrise programme.
He also claimed that Jonathan’s recent interactions with former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, should not be interpreted as signs of an alliance, noting that politicians often meet for different reasons.
Momodu added that speculation is common in politics, citing public reactions to a recent meeting between Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and President Bola Tinubu.
He said: “Those who are saying, oh, former president Jonathan will run on the platform of PDP, I doubt, because those who are determined to kill PDP, they are still very much entrenched. Those who are saying, okay, he and former Governor Peter Obi are meeting, it’s normal for politicians to meet. They meet all the time.
 
“The other day when we saw the picture of the senator Rabiu Kwankwaso with President Bola Tinubu, people said he’s going to dump NNPP and he’s going to APC. People speculate a lot. This is not a time to speculate. This is a time to focus and strategize.
 
“So all this noise about this will go there, let people go. In a democracy, if you cannot agree on consensus, then let there be primary, let them go to poll and whosoever wins, so be it.”

No Nollywood Actress Can Afford G-wagon From Acting Alone – Yemi Solade

Veteran Nigerian actor Yemi Solade has stated that actors and actresses showing off luxury cars didn’t buy it from what they earned from acting.
According to him, no actor or actress can afford G-Wagon from acting.
Solade spoke in an interview with the Honest Bunch podcast.
The actor stated that earnings from acting alone cannot cover such purchases.
The actor explained that the Nigerian film industry does not provide enough financial returns for any actress to buy a G-Wagon strictly from acting jobs.
He said that only those who have other streams of income or business ventures could possibly afford such expensive vehicles.
Solade insisted that movie roles in Nollywood do not generate the kind of money needed for such luxury, expressing doubt that anyone relying solely on acting could boast of buying a G-Wagon.
He said: “No actress can come out and say she bought her G-Wagon strictly from the money she made through acting. The earnings from Nollywood are not enough to cover such a luxury purchase. Acting alone cannot provide that kind of money unless the person has other sources of income or investments outside of movies.”
