The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced that it will commence free direct supply of petrol across Nigeria starting September 15, 2025.
In a statement posted on its official X page on Thursday, September 11, 2025, the refinery said the initiative will commence in 11 states before expanding nationwide.
According to the refinery, petrol will be sold at an ex-gantry price of N820 per litre.
Retail outlets in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Osun, and Ekiti will receive the product at N841 per litre, while stations in Abuja, Delta, Rivers, Edo, and Kwara will get it at N851 per litre.

“All petrol station owners nationwide are invited to register for free delivery and other benefits,” Dangote refinery stated.
The refinery recently announced the acquisition of 4,000 CNG-powered tankers to enhance its distribution capacity, promising to save Nigerians over N1.7 trillion annually through its direct supply scheme.
Industry analysts said the initiative could ease fuel distribution challenges and lower pump prices for consumers but may also disrupt existing downstream sector players.
