In a bold move to support national economic growth and ease the burden of fuel costs on Nigerians, Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced a reduction in the ex-depot price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly known as petrol.
Effective from August 12, 2025, the price has been slashed by N30 — from N850 to N820 per litre — at the refinery’s gantry.
The announcement was made in a statement by Mr. Anthony Chiejina, Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer, who reaffirmed the company’s commitment to ensuring a steady and uninterrupted supply of petroleum products across the country.
“As part of our unwavering commitment to national development, Dangote Petroleum Refinery assures the public of a consistent and uninterrupted supply of petroleum products,” Chiejina stated.
In addition to the price reduction, the refinery also disclosed plans to begin a phased rollout of 4,000 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered trucks for fuel distribution across Nigeria, starting August 15, 2025. This move is in line with the company’s drive toward cleaner energy solutions and sustainable operations.
The deployment of CNG trucks is expected to enhance efficiency in distribution, reduce environmental impact, and lower logistics costs — benefits that could potentially translate into further price stability for consumers.
The Dangote Refinery, one of the largest in Africa, has been playing an increasingly central role in Nigeria’s energy sector since its commissioning. Today’s announcement signals a continued focus on long-term solutions to the country’s energy challenges, while reinforcing the company’s leadership in promoting cleaner, more affordable fuel alternatives.
