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.
Nigerian fintech company OPay has introduced new security features to improve the safety of its application.
The company unveiled the Emergency Lock and Safety PIN features to give customers better control over their funds and provide added protection against fraud and unauthorized transactions.
The Emergency Lock feature allows customers to instantly freeze their OPay account with a single tap whenever they sense a threat or believe their account may be at risk.
The newly launched Safety PIN introduces an additional layer of security, helping customers protect themselves in situations where they may be forced to make a transfer or payment against their will.
The Federal Government of Nigeria has spoken on the agriculture sector of the country and shared that, in its current state, it needs more capital as it cannot stand alone without it.
They stated that even more capital will be needed in order to transform the agricultural sector and improve food production in Nigeria.
“Relying solely on public capital will not suffice to finance the transformation of Nigeria’s agricultural sector. Similarly, private capital will not be mobilised at the necessary scale unless the associated risks are comprehensively understood, appropriately allocated, and effectively managed.”
It has been noted that there is now an increase in fuel all around Nigeria, from … to 1000 plus in fuel stations.
It was also noted that Dangote Petroleum Refinery increased the price to 1,175 per litre and diesel has been increased to 1,620 per litre.
This new spike in fuel increase has caused Nigerians to lament widely, wondering why this change happened all of a sudden.
