Dangote Refinery Slashes Fuel Price, Gives Update On Petrol Distribution Nationwide

Dangote Refinery has announced the reduction of fuel prices across the country with effect from Monday, September 15, 2025.
The Dangote Group had earlier announced that the reduction would see the $20 billion plant distribute petrol and diesel to consumers with its 4,000 compressed natural gas trucks at zero logistics cost.
The company produces 650,000-barrel of refined fuel per-day even as the new gantry price is N820 per litre, the same price announced last month.
The company, which is currently in a face-off with the Nigerian Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, over formation of labour unions in the refinery noted the new development in a fresh price template released by Dangote Group on its X account.
According to Dangote, the new price template, in Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, and Ekiti, Dangote Refinery’s petrol retail price stands at N841 from N860 per litre.
However, in Abuja, Edo, Delta, Rivers and Kwara states, the retail price is N851, down from N885 per litre, meaning that 
Dangote would deliver its petrol directly to willing consumers in Lagos and the South-west states at a reduced retail price of N19, while in Abuja, North Central, and the South-South, it will be a N34 reduction.
It further stressed that the new price template and direct fuel distribution scheme was expected to take effect on Monday, September 15, 2025, even as the
price template is not binding on petroleum marketers and retailers except MRS and its other distribution partners.
NUPENG on Thursday announced that it may return to strike against Dangote Group, alleging that the company reneged on its recent resolutions but the company had maintained that it respects the voluntary membership of unions by its workers.
