‘No More N865/Ltr’ – Dangote Releases List of Filling Stations Selling Petrol At Cheaper Rate (New Petrol Prices by States)

Published

on

The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced a fresh reduction in petrol pump prices, offering Nigerians a much-needed relief at a time of rising living costs.

Starting from Monday, September 15, petrol will now be sold below N865 per litre at select partner filling stations across the country.

This announcement comes alongside the refinery’s new distribution model, which involves the use of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) trucks to deliver fuel directly to stations. The approach is expected to cut down logistics costs and improve fuel availability nationwide.

Why the price drop matters

The price cut, which averages N24 lower per litre, is directly linked to Dangote’s new direct distribution strategy. By rolling out thousands of CNG-powered trucks and establishing CNG “daughter booster” stations across the country, the refinery aims to reduce dependence on middlemen, thereby slashing transportation costs that usually drive fuel prices higher.

At the moment, Dangote has taken delivery of 1,000 out of the 4,000 trucks it ordered. This investment in logistics is expected to ensure steady nationwide distribution in the months ahead.

Benefits for petrol dealers and marketers

Beyond reducing retail prices, Dangote Refinery has also extended an invitation to filling station owners across Nigeria to join its distribution network. The company is offering:

Free delivery logistics through its CNG-powered truck fleet
Access to credit facilities: Dealers who purchase 500,000 litres can obtain an additional 500,000 litres on credit for two weeks, under bank guarantee
This system is designed to support petrol dealers, manufacturers, transport operators, and other large-scale users while ensuring Nigerians pay less at the pump.

NNPC price comparison
Interestingly, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has also recently adjusted its pump price to N865 per litre, which remains slightly higher than Dangote’s new rates in most states.

The competition between the state-owned NNPC and the privately owned Dangote refinery may continue to shape petrol pricing in Nigeria in the coming months.
