Dangote Refinery Begins Direct Distribution Of Petrol To Filling Stations On Monday, Sept. 15

The multi-billion dollar Dangote Petrol-Chemical Refinery in Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria's commercial ciy, will begin the direct distribution of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) popularly known as "Petrol" to filling stations across the country, beginning from Monday, September 15, 2025. 

The company in a statement said that the initiative would also ensure further reduction in the ex-depot price of the commodity to N820 per litre, with corresponding lower pump prices in several key states.

Lagos and other South-Western states will see fuel retailing at N841 per litre, while Abuja, Rivers, Delta, Edo, and Kwara states will sell at N851 per litre.

“The first phase of the deployment will cover the Federal Capital Territory, Lagos, Kwara, Delta, Edo, Rivers and South West states, with nationwide expansion planned as additional trucks are delivered,” the Dangote Refinery said on Thursday.

“This transition to CNG-powered transportation is expected to save the Nigerian economy over N1.8 trillion annually. The move is designed to cut fuel distribution costs, reduce pump prices, and ease inflationary pressures.

“In particular, the initiative is expected to benefit more than 42 million micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) by lowering energy costs and improving profit margins.”
