Dangote Petroleum Refinery has once again slashed prices for diesel and aviation fuel, dropping them to N940 and N980 per litre, respectively. This reduction follows a recent price cut to N1,000 per litre just two weeks ago.
The new pricing structure offers N940 per litre for customers purchasing five million litres or more, and N970 per litre for those buying one million litres or above.
While speaking on the new development, the Head of Communication, Dangote Group, Anthony Chiejina, pointed out that the new price is in consonance with the company’s commitment to cushion the effect of economic hardship in Nigeria.
“I can confirm to you that Dangote Petroleum Refinery has entered a strategic partnership with MRS Oil and Gas stations, to ensure that consumers get to buy fuel at affordable price, in all their stations be it Lagos or Maiduguri. You can buy as low as 1 litre of diesel at N1,050 and aviation fuel at N980 at all major airports where MRS operates,” Chiejina said.
He added that the partnership will be extended to other major oil marketers.
“The essence of this is to ensure that retail buyers do not buy at exorbitant prices. The Dangote Group is committed to ensuring that Nigerians have a better welfare and as such, we are happy to announce these new prices and hope that it would go a long way to cushion the effect of economic challenges in the country,” he stated.
These price revisions mark the third significant reduction in diesel prices within less than three weeks, demonstrating Dangote’s commitment to enhancing the welfare of Nigerians amidst economic challenges.
