Dangote Refinery 3 (1).webp
The Dangote Refinery has reduced petrol prices to between ₦875 and ₦905 per litre, depending on location — a move that could bring slight relief to Nigerians grappling with high fuel costs.
  • New petrol prices range from ₦875 to ₦905 per litre
  • The rate varies by region but applies nationwide
  • The announcement comes directly from Dangote Refinery
  • No official government statement yet on the downstream impact
  • Nigerians hope this signals more competitive pricing ahead

This price cut from Dangote Refinery is the clearest sign yet of private sector influence reshaping Nigeria’s fuel market. Though still high for many citizens, the move might ease pressure on consumers, especially in regions where black-market rates have soared. With Dangote ramping up production, Nigerians may finally start to feel the effects of local refining. But the big question remains: will other marketers follow suit?

Will this drive down fuel transport costs? Are we seeing a new normal in pricing? Nigerians are watching and hoping.
