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.
Skype, once a go-to platform for video and voice calls, is officially shutting down today, May 5, marking the end of its 22-year journey connecting people around the globe. The app was one of the first to revolutionize online communication, offering free calls over the internet long before it became common.
During its prime in the mid-2010s, Skype boasted over 300 million active users each month. Microsoft bought Skype in 2011 for a massive $8.5 billion, planning to make it a key part of its communication tools. However, as newer apps like WhatsApp, Zoom, and even Microsoft’s own Teams grew in popularity, Skype slowly lost its place.
In February, Microsoft announced it would officially shut down Skype on May 5 to focus more on Teams, which now handles most of its communication services. This move affects both free and paid users, although Skype for Business will stick around for a little longer.
