The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced a significant reduction in the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, and will begin direct distribution to filling stations nationwide starting Monday, September 15, 2025.
The refinery has set the gantry price at N820 per litre, with pump prices expected to drop to N841 per litre in Lagos and other South-Western states, and N851 per litre in Abuja, Rivers, Delta, Edo, and Kwara states.
This initiative aims to cut fuel distribution costs, reduce pump prices, and ease inflationary pressures, potentially saving the Nigerian economy over N1.8 trillion annually.
The move is also expected to benefit over 42 million micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) by lowering energy costs and improving profit margins.
The Dangote Group is investing over N720 billion into the program, which will also create numerous direct employment opportunities and revitalize dormant filling stations across the country.
The refinery has deployed 4,000 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered trucks to enhance distribution and plans to expand nationwide coverage as more trucks are delivered.
Petrol station owners are encouraged to register for free delivery and other benefits associated with the new initiative.
