Dangote Petroleum Refinery has commenced free delivery of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, to customers in the Federal Capital Territory and five states as part of efforts to improve fuel distribution across the country.
The company announced on Wednesday that the free delivery service covers Abuja, Lagos, Ogun, Rivers, Kaduna and Delta states, while retaining its ex-depot price of ₦1,075 per litre.
According to the refinery, the offer is available to customers purchasing a minimum of 250,000 litres of petrol.
The initiative comes days after the refinery engaged stakeholders in Nigeria’s downstream petroleum sector on cost-reflective fuel pricing, with participants expressing support for additional reductions in pump prices.
Dangote Refinery recently reduced its gantry price of petrol to ₦1,075 per litre, marking the fourth downward price review since it began operations.
Meanwhile, the President of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, Abubakar Maigandi, said the retail price of petrol has dropped by about ₦125 per litre over the past three weeks.
He noted that pump prices currently range between ₦1,155 and ₦1,299 per litre, depending on location and individual marketers.
