Dangote Petroleum Refinery has commenced free delivery of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly known as petrol, to customers in six locations across Nigeria, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), while retaining its ex-depot price of N1,075 per litre.
The refinery announced the initiative in a notice posted on its official X handle on Wednesday, saying the free haulage service covers Lagos, Ogun, Rivers, Kaduna, and Delta states, as well as Abuja.
According to the company, the offer is available to customers purchasing a minimum of 250,000 litres of petrol.
The latest initiative comes days after the refinery held consultations with stakeholders in Nigeria’s downstream petroleum sector on the need for cost-reflective fuel pricing.
The meeting ended with participants expressing support for further reductions in the pump price of petrol as market conditions improve.
Dangote Refinery had recently announced its fourth downward review of its gantry price, reducing the ex-depot price of petrol to N1,075 per litre, a move expected to further ease retail prices nationwide.
President of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Abubakar Maigandi, said the retail price of petrol has already dropped by about N125 per litre over the past three weeks.
According to him, pump prices now range between N1,155 and N1,299 per litre, depending on location and the marketer, reflecting the impact of recent price reductions by the refinery.
