Dangote Refinery Lowers Petrol Price to N815 Per Litre
Dangote Refinery has reduced its ex-depot price for premium motor spirit (PMS) to N815 per litre. This adjustment follows a drop in fuel landing costs, which recently fell to N774.82 per litre, lower than Dangote’s previous ex-depot price of N825 per litre.
Industry insiders have confirmed the price reduction, although Dangote Refinery has not made any official statement about it.
Chinedu Ukadike, the spokesperson for the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, acknowledged the change. He explained that speculation about lower prices for imported products is fueling the competition. He added that since Dangote has a large supply of fuel, reducing prices helps to protect its market share.
It’s unclear whether this reduction will affect the pump price at Dangote-affiliated stations like MRS, which currently sells petrol at N860 per litre in Lagos and N880 in Abuja.
In recent months, Dangote Refinery and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited have been locked in a competitive price battle.
Meanwhile, the Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association recently met with the Minister of State for Petroleum, Heineken Lokpobiri, to push for more stable and competitive fuel prices.
It has been noted that the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and British American Tobacco Nigeria Foundation (BATNF) plan to renew their partnership in agribusiness.
The new project is to involve youth in the agriculture business, widen their horizons, and educate them about the agritech sector.
The general manager shared that “The foundation is not only providing grants but also building a system of mentorship, structure, and support that enables corps members to see agribusiness as a serious enterprise pathway.” The plan is to use the NYSC platform to engage youths.
Idi Mukhtar Maiha, Minister of Livestock Development, has revealed the government’s intention of placing women in the livestock transformation agenda that they have in store for Nigeria.
During a recent event, he praised women, describing them as the backbone of the country, and shared that the country will keep on needing their support, hence the inclusion of the agenda team.
He also praised the First Lady for the impact she has made in the country so far and her advocacy for women’s empowerment.
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.”
It can be noted that rice was sold at ₦85k to ₦90k, however, according to a market survey, the price of rice has dropped to ₦56k to ₦62k.
