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.

Dangote Refinery Reportedly Increases Fuel Price

Dangote Refinery increased its ex-depot price of Premium Motor Spirit to N850 per litre from N820.

The National President of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, Abubakar Maigandi, disclosed in an interview on Friday.

This fresh increase represents a N30 hike in the ex-depot price of petrol.

“The new ex-depot price of petrol at the refinery is N850 per litre,”Maigandi said.

He also confirmed that the plant has resumed the sale of petrol products after its suspension last week.

The implication is that petroleum product marketers and retailers will have to pay more to get petrol products from the 650,000-barrel-per-day refinery.

Meanwhile, between last weekend and Monday this week, petroleum marketers, including the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, had increased their pump price to N955 per litre in Abuja before decreasing to N900.

Other filling stations like Ranoil, AA Rano, and Empire Energy currently dispense petrol between N950 and N955 per litre in Abuja.
