NNPC dangote petrol pricing
NNPC Limited, the state-owned oil company, is aggressively expanding its retail operations to maintain a stronghold in the domestic fuel market.
This comes as the Dangote Refinery, Africa’s largest privately-owned oil refinery, has begun supplying petrol and has already impacted market dynamics.
Previously, NNPC petrol station prices were used as a template to determine what other filling stations would charge, offering the cheapest prices.
However, the Dangote Refinery has now taken on that role, partnering with four downstream players to supply petrol at affordable rates.
Recently, the Dangote Group reduced petrol prices from N890 to N825 per litre at Ardova, MRS, Heyden, and Optima filling stations nationwide, lower than what is offered at NNPC retail stations.
This forced NNPC to adjust its prices to match those of Dangote's partners in the market.
With Nigeria now operating a market-driven pricing system, competition between the two oil giants is expected to continue in the years ahead.
Again Dangote reduced prices
In a related development, Legit.ng reported that the Dangote Petroleum Refinery escalated the petrol price war by quietly lowering the PMS price at its loading gantry.
The giant refinery reduced petrol prices from N825 per litre to N815.
This latest change is expected to make petrol at filling stations even cheaper than the current prices.
The development came as the plant introduced a new pricing structure on Thursday, March 13, 2025.
