Dangote Petroleum Refinery has commenced the free delivery of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly known as petrol, to six locations across Nigeria, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, while maintaining its ex-depot price of ₦1,075 per litre.

The refinery announced the initiative in a notice shared on its official X account on Wednesday.

According to the company, the free delivery service covers Lagos, Ogun, Rivers, Kaduna and Delta states, as well as the FCT.

The refinery stated that the offer is available to customers purchasing a minimum of 250,000 litres of petrol.

The latest move comes shortly after Dangote Refinery held discussions with stakeholders in Nigeria’s downstream petroleum sector on cost-reflective pricing for petrol.

The meeting reportedly ended with stakeholders expressing support for further reductions in fuel prices.

The refinery recently announced its fourth reduction in the gantry price of petrol, lowering the ex-depot price to ₦1,075 per litre.

Commenting on recent developments in the market, President of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Abubakar Maigandi, said the retail price of petrol had dropped by about ₦125 per litre over the past three weeks.

According to him, pump prices currently range between ₦1,155 and ₦1,299 per litre, depending on location and individual marketers.

The free delivery initiative is expected to ease distribution costs for bulk buyers and could further influence petrol pricing across parts of the country.
