In a move aimed at reducing the cost of fuel for Nigerians, Dangote Refinery has announced a nationwide reduction in its Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) retail price.
The company also confirmed that its much-anticipated direct petrol distribution initiative will officially commence on Monday, September 15, 2025.
According to a fresh price template shared on the Dangote Group’s official X account, the refinery’s new gantry price remains at ₦820 per litre, the same figure announced last month. Under the new arrangement, petrol retail prices will drop across several states. In Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, and Ekiti, the price will reduce to ₦841 per litre from ₦860, while in Abuja, Edo, Delta, Rivers, and Kwara, motorists will pay ₦851 per litre — a ₦34 reduction from the previous ₦885.

The $20 billion, 650,000-barrel-per-day facility will also roll out its direct-to-consumer petrol and diesel delivery system using a fleet of 4,000 compressed natural gas (CNG) trucks at zero logistics cost. This move is expected to ease fuel distribution challenges and lower pump prices nationwide.
Meanwhile, the refinery remains in a dispute with the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), which recently threatened to resume strike action, alleging that Dangote Group had reneged on agreed resolutions. Dangote Group, however, maintains that it respects workers’ rights and voluntary union membership.
The company emphasized that its price template is not binding on independent marketers except MRS and other distribution partners, but expressed optimism that the initiative will bring relief to consumers as it takes effect on September 15.
