The Dangote Petroleum Refinery says it has reduced the ex-depot prices of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) and Automotive Gas Oil (diesel) as part of efforts to make petroleum products more affordable.
Under the new pricing structure, the refinery reduced the price of petrol from N1,215 per litre to N1,165, representing a N50 reduction, while diesel was cut from N1,650 per litre to N1,570, amounting to an N80 reduction.
In a statement signed by the Dangote Group today, the refinery said the price review was aimed at enhancing energy affordability, improving access to refined petroleum products and supporting economic activities across Nigeria.
According to the refinery, the move reflects its commitment to providing “affordable, high-quality petroleum products to the Nigerian market.”
It added that it remained committed to ensuring stable supply while leveraging operational efficiencies to deliver value to consumers, businesses, and stakeholders.
The company said it would continue to pass on the benefits of improved operational efficiencies to consumers whenever market conditions permit.
It stated that the refinery continues to play a pivotal role in strengthening Nigeria’s energy security, reducing reliance on imports, and supporting the nation’s economic development through the supply of world-class petroleum products.
