Updated: Dangote refinery reduces price of petrol to N899.50

The Dangote Refinery Thursday announced a price reduction from N970 to N899.50 per litre for marketers.

Group Chief Branding and Communication Officer, Anthony Chiejina, disclosed this in a statement.

Last month, the company announced a price reduction from N990 to N970 per litre for the marketers. At the time, the company said the reduction was a way to show appreciation for Nigerians and their unwavering support in making the refinery a dream come true.

In its statement Thursday, the company said the reduction was designed to ease transport costs during the festive period.

โ€œTo alleviate transport costs during this holiday season, Dangote Refinery is offering a holiday discount on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS). From today, our petrol will be available at N899.50 per litre at our truck loading gantry or SPM,โ€ Mr Chiejina said.

He said furthermore that that for every litre purchased on a cash basis, consumers can buy another litre on credit backed by a bank guarantee fromย Access Bank,ย First Bank, or Zenith Bank.

The refinery thanked Nigerians for their continued support as the country enters the festive season.

Mr Chiejina emphasised the refineryโ€™s commitment to ensuring Nigerians have access to premium quality petroleum products that are competitively priced, environmentally friendly, and engine friendly.

He noted that the refineryโ€™s operations mark the end of Nigeria being a dumping ground for substandard and โ€˜blendedโ€™ imported products, which have posed significant risks to human health, machinery, and the environment.
