Dangote Refinery’s New Deal with IPMAN to Lower Petrol Price by N50 per Litre
The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) recently revealed that Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) will become more affordable for Nigerians, with a planned price reduction of N50 per liter.
This announcement came from IPMAN’s National President, Abubakar Maigandi, during a Tuesday interview with Channels Television.
Maigandi disclosed that the price cut follows a recent agreement between IPMAN and Dangote Refinery, which will now directly supply petrol to IPMAN members at a lower rate.
Under the new agreement, Dangote Refinery will sell petrol to IPMAN members at N940 per liter for depot purchases and N990 per liter for trucks.
With these adjusted rates, independent marketers who have been selling petrol for as high as N1,200 per liter in locations like Maiduguri will now be able to drop their prices to around N1,150 or potentially even lower.
Maigandi mentioned that the adjustment depends on location, as transport and logistics costs can vary, but he expects to see the benefits reach customers soon.
Maigandi also shared some insight into the new purchasing arrangements.
IPMAN members have two main options: they can either transport fuel directly from the Dangote Refinery to their depots or purchase it directly for trucks.
These measures are expected to streamline the distribution process, reducing dependence on the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) as the primary distributor of Dangote’s petrol.
Currently, Nigerians are paying between N1,060 and N1,200 per liter at NNPCL outlets and other stations, so the new pricing arrangement with IPMAN is a welcome move for the average consumer facing high fuel costs.
Nigerians react as a user claims and shares that the price of rice in Nigeria is already reducing.
“Rice prices are finally dropping, minimum wage can buy a bag now. Step by step, we’re getting there. Nigeria will work in our lifetime.”

Nigerians now have a new choice when it comes to making calls and browsing the internet. A new telecom company called LEBARA has launched in the country with a new idea. Instead of the usual airtime system that most networks use, this company is offering something different, subscribers will now buy call minutes and data directly.
What makes this different is that customers will only pay for what they actually use. If you buy 100 minutes, those minutes are yours until you use them up. If you make a call that lasts only 30 seconds, the rest of your time remains, leaving you with 99 minutes and 30 seconds. Nothing is taken away without your knowledge, and every second is accounted for.
The company is rolling out its services with the new 0724 number series, and it already has connections with all the major networks in Nigeria. This means subscribers will be able to call friends, family, and business contacts across MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile and others without any problems. They have also been licensed as a Tier 5 Mobile Virtual Network Operator, which is the highest category approved by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
Company officials explained that the goal is to give Nigerians more freedom, fairness, and transparency. For years, people have raised concerns about airtime being deducted too quickly or without clear explanation. By introducing a minutes-based model, the new operator wants to end that problem once and for all. Subscribers can clearly see what they paid for, how much they have used, and what is left.
