Dangote reduces fuel prices
In an earlier statement, Dangote announced a reduction in the ex-depot (gantry) price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly referred to as petrol, by N65.00, from N890 to N825 per litre, effective from 27th February 2025.
The refinery noted that the strategic price adjustment is designed to provide essential relief to Nigerians in anticipation of the upcoming Ramadan season while also supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's economic recovery policy by alleviating the financial burden on the Nigerian populace.
Part of the statement reads:
"It is important to note that Dangote Petroleum Refinery has consistently lowered the prices of petrol and other refined petroleum products to the benefit of Nigerians. This marks the second price reduction of PMS in February 2025, following a previous decrease of N60.00 earlier in the month.
"Additionally, in December 2024, during the yuletide period, the refinery reduced the price of PMS by N70.50, from N970 to N899.50 per litre, as part of its commitment to easing the cost of living and providing relief to Nigerians during the holiday season.
"This reduction has positively impacted the overall cost of living, benefiting various sectors of the economy, and has also ensured that Nigerians did not experience the perennial fuel scarcity and price hikes typically associated with the yuletide season."
Dangote's lower prices draw long queues
With fuel prices remaining high, many Lagos drivers are flocking to Dangote Refinery’s partner stations in search of more affordable petrol.
Long queues were spotted at these stations as motorists sought relief from the soaring costs at other outlets.
The growing demand for Dangote’s lower-priced petrol has led to congestion at these filling stations, with drivers eager to take advantage of the price difference.
Many Nigerians have applauded Dangote Refinery’s decision to reduce fuel prices, highlighting the positive impact on both motorists and businesses nationwide.
In separate interviews, some drivers expressed their satisfaction with the cost reduction, noting that saving between N75 and N80 per litre provides significant relief, especially for commercial transport operators.
While many have welcomed the price cuts, they have also emphasized the need for sustained affordability to drive long-term economic benefits.
However, stakeholders have urged Dangote to extend its distribution network by partnering with independent and major marketers.
This, they believe, would ensure that more Nigerians can access the cheaper fuel and further ease the financial burden on consumers.
Dangote spoils market for petrol importers
Legit.ng previously reported that Dangote Petroleum Refinery may cost importers of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) an average of N2.5 billion per day and N75 billion per month.
The new ex-depot price of gasoline at the Dangote refinery is over N100 lower than the average landing cost of gasoline, as disclosed by industry participants.
The new Dangote price may push marketers to sell petrol significantly below their costs, which comes at a huge cost.
