In a move aimed at showing gratitude to Nigerians, the Dangote Refinery has reduced the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, from ₦990 to ₦970 per liter. This decision was announced by Anthony Chiejina, the Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer of the Dangote Group. He described it as a gesture to appreciate Nigerians’ unwavering support throughout the refinery’s journey to operational success.

Why This Matters

The reduction comes at a time when fuel prices have placed significant financial strain on many Nigerians. The refinery, Africa’s largest, emphasized that this gesture also supports ongoing government measures to stabilize the energy sector and encourage domestic enterprise. By eliminating reliance on imported fuel and intermediaries, Dangote Refinery aims to ensure steady production, maintain quality, and meet domestic demand effectively.

A Step Toward Relief

The partnership between Dangote Refinery and the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) is another positive development. This collaboration allows marketers to procure fuel directly from the refinery, bypassing middlemen and reducing distribution costs. This approach is expected to make petrol more affordable and accessible across the country, with a broader impact on stabilizing inflation and improving market conditions.
