Dangote Refinery ex-depot prices
Legit.ng reported that on February 1, 2025, Dangote Petroleum Refinery announced a reduction in its ex-depot price of petrol from N950 to N890 per litre.
This price cut is attributed to favourable developments in the global energy sector and a notable decline in international crude oil prices.
A statement from the Group’s Chief Branding and Communications Officer, Anthony Chiejina, said that the latest reduction follows an earlier price adjustment on January 19, when an increase was implemented due to rising crude oil costs.
However, with recent global market trends indicating a downturn in crude prices, the refinery has opted to pass the benefits on to Nigerian consumers.
The statement noted:
“Dangote Petroleum Refinery firmly believes that this reduction from N950 to N890 will result in a meaningful decrease in the cost of petrol nationwide, thereby driving down the prices of goods and services, as well as the overall cost of living, with a positive ripple effect on various sectors of the economy.”
The refinery further urged petroleum marketers to ensure that the benefits of the reduced price reach the Nigerian public.
