The Dangote Petroleum Refinery is set to commence the direct supply of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, to filling stations across Nigeria, starting Monday, September 15, 2025.
According to a statement from the refinery, the new gantry price has been fixed at N820 per litre, while the retail pump price will vary across states.
Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Osun, and Ekiti are expected to retail petrol at N841 per litre, while Abuja, Delta, Rivers, Edo, and Kwara will sell at N851 per litre. The refinery stated that the initiative comes with the added benefit of free delivery to registered petrol station owners nationwide.
Initially, the direct supply will cover selected states, with operations to be expanded to other parts of the country in subsequent phases.
“All petrol station owners nationwide are invited to register for free delivery and other benefits,” the statement said, urging interested marketers to contact the refinery through its official sales channels.
This development comes hours after the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas workers (NUPENG) again placed its members on “red alert” following the decision by the Dangote Group to renege on an earlier agreement brokered by the federal government on Tuesday.
In a statement signed by William Akporeha and Afolabi Olawale, the President and General Secretary of NUPENG, respectively, the union said it is placing all its members on “red alert” for the resumption of the suspended nationwide industrial action.
Meanwhile, the development marks a significant step in the downstream petroleum sector, as the 650,000 barrels per day Dangote Refinery begins large-scale distribution of petrol within Nigeria.
