The Dangote refinery has reduced retail petrol prices to N841 per litre in Lagos and the Southwest states, while it is pegged at N851 per litre in Abuja, Edo, Kwara, Rivers, and Delta States.
The company is also set to commence direct supply of petrol (PMS) to 11 states beginning from Monday, September 15, 2025, adding that it will rely on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered transportation with the aim of significantly reducing costs.
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas (NUPENG) has described this development as a “Greek gift’.
NUPENG’s National President, Williams Akporeha, said, “Nigerians should not be deceived by the offer of free nationwide delivery of petroleum products to dispensing stations. It is a GREEK GIFT to ensure that other employers of petroleum.
“Truck drivers are unable to employ drivers, so only those employed by the company who are forced to join the DTCDA will remain in employment. Everything is targeted at crushing NUPENG and its PTD branch.”
Recall that the company had scheduled to commence free fuel distribution in August, but according to reports, it was delayed as a result of logistics challenges in China.
