Dangote Refinery Reduces PMS Price From N990 to N970 as a Year-End Thanks to Nigerians
In a move aimed at easing fuel costs for Nigerians, Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced a reduction in the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from N990 per litre to N970.
This change is due to the year drawing to a close, reflecting the refinery’s gratitude to Nigerians for their continuous support and the government’s efforts in fostering local enterprise.
The statement released by the refinery emphasizes the company’s commitment to quality and sustainability.
“This is our way of appreciating the good people of Nigeria for their unwavering support in making the refinery a reality,” it reads.
The company also showed its appreciation for the government’s backing, noting that the reduction aligns with measures to bolster domestic enterprise for national growth and well-being.
The Dangote Refinery, a groundbreaking project in Africa’s oil and gas industry, has positioned itself as a key player in Nigeria’s energy sector.
Launched to address the nation’s dependence on imported petroleum products, the facility is the largest single-train refinery in the world, capable of refining 650,000 barrels of crude oil daily.
This capacity is expected to significantly impact Nigeria’s fuel supply, reducing import dependency and ensuring stable availability.
The refinery reassured Nigerians of its determination to ramp up production to not only meet but surpass the country’s fuel consumption demands.
“We assure you of best quality products that are environmentally friendly and sustainable,” the statement added.
Ecobank Group is reportedly set to raise up to $250 million through an Additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital offering in order to strengthen the bank’s capital base.
This was revealed during the company’s annual general meeting held in Togo on the 29th of May, 2025. According to the meeting, the bank stated that the conversion price for the shares will be based on the higher of the prevailing exchange rate and the floor price of $0.02 per ordinary share.
The speaker stated “As we cast our eyes into the future and reimagine all possibilities—rising competition from banks, fintechs, and non-bank financial institutions, as well as factors such as geopolitics, regulations, and capital markets—we cannot afford complacency.”
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) recently assured stakeholders about the state of the banking sector in Nigeria, stating that the banking sector can still be trusted and is secure.
The assurance was shared in a statement signed by Hakama Sidi Ali, Acting Director of Corporate Communications at the CBN. In the statement, it was emphasized that stakeholders should disregard any negative news concerning the banking sector, as such reports are misleading.
The CBN also highlighted the security of the deposits entrusted to it, stating, “There is no reason for the public to worry about the security of their deposits.” The extent of the measures and security in place was also emphasized by the director in the statement.
Nigerian Businessman Dr. Cosmos Maduka analyzes popular Billionaire, Aliko Dangote and describes him as the biggest debtor in Nigeria.
The businessman highlighted the fact that people who seem to have the most money are often the largest debtors.
“The number one debtor in Nigeria is Aliko Dangote. He’s the wealthiest man in Africa. The number one debtor in the world is the United States of America and you call them the richest in the world.”
“As you admire all of those things, it’s all credit. It’s all about credit. So you should leverage on loan, but you have to have a good structure that will support that loan.”
