In a bid to offer relief to Nigerians during the festive season, Dangote Petroleum Refinery has reduced the price of petrol to N899.50 per litre.
The move is aimed at easing transportation costs during the Christmas and New Year holidays.
According to a statement from the company’s spokesperson, Anthony Chiejina, the price cut is intended to help reduce the financial burden on consumers.
The refinery has also introduced an additional offer, allowing customers to purchase one extra litre of petrol on credit for every litre bought on a cash basis.
This is the second price reduction by the privately-owned refinery in recent months, having previously lowered the price to N970 per litre in November.
“The holiday discount is designed to make transportation more affordable. Starting today, petrol will be sold at N899.50 per litre at our truck loading gantry or Single Point Mooring (SPM),” Chiejina said.
“Additionally, customers buying fuel on a cash basis will be entitled to an extra litre on credit, supported by a bank guarantee from Access Bank, First Bank, or Zenith Bank.”
The refinery, with a daily production capacity of 650,000 barrels, has also expressed its gratitude to Nigerians for their support and patronage as the country heads into the festive period.
Chiejina reiterated Dangote Refinery’s commitment to providing high-quality, competitively priced petrol, ensuring it is safe for the environment and vehicles.
He added that the refinery’s operations are ending Nigeria’s reliance on substandard, imported petroleum products, which have posed risks to human health and machinery.
