Dangote Refinery Adjusts Petrol Gantry Price to ₦799 Per Litre
Dangote Petroleum Refinery has increased its petrol gantry price to ₦799 per litre following the end of a temporary festive intervention aimed at easing household fuel costs.
In a statement, the company disclosed that under the new pricing arrangement, MRS filling stations supplied by the refinery will sell petrol at ₦839 per litre. It explained that the earlier pricing was a short-term measure introduced during the festive season to cushion consumers amid increased spending.
“With the festive period concluded, PMS prices have been modestly realigned to sustainable levels to support long-term market stability and affordability. Under the current alignment, the PMS gantry price is ₦799 per litre, while MRS retail outlets are selling at ₦839 per litre,” the refinery stated.
The company noted that this marked the second consecutive festive season in which it absorbed additional costs in the national interest, including logistics support in 2024 and a pump price reduction in 2025 to promote affordability and market stability.
Dangote Refinery also expressed concern that many filling stations failed to reflect the earlier price cut, denying consumers the full benefit of the intervention.
Speaking on the development, the Chief Executive Officer of Dangote Petroleum Refinery, David Bird, said the facility continues to supply the domestic market with about 50 million litres of petrol daily, with nationwide distribution running smoothly.
He added that the refinery’s flexible processing capacity allows it to handle a wide range of crude and intermediate feedstocks, ensuring uninterrupted fuel supply even during routine maintenance.
“As a domestic producer, Dangote Petroleum Refinery continues to shield the Nigerian market from import-related volatility and external supply disruptions, while remaining a stabilising force in the downstream petroleum sector,” Bird said.
The company reaffirmed its commitment to energy security, price stability, and long-term value for Nigerians.
