DANGOTE Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals has announced it will absorb a ₦16 billion loss by refunding ₦65 per litre to marketers, ensuring Nigerians benefit from lower fuel prices.

In a statement released over the weekend, the refinery confirmed it would compensate marketers who purchased Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) at higher rates before its recent price reduction.

Customers who bought fuel from key partners—AP (Ardova Plc), Heyden, or MRS—at the previous gantry price of ₦890 per litre will receive a refund, following the new rate of ₦825 per litre.

This initiative aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which aims to boost the economy and provide more affordable energy solutions.

The refinery assured that the refund, effective February 27, 2025, will prevent losses for its business partners while ensuring consumers immediately benefit from the price cut nationwide.

Beyond AP, Heyden, and MRS, Dangote urged all marketers sourcing fuel from its refinery to pass on the cost reduction to consumers. It also warned against price exploitation, condemning those who purchase at ₦825 per litre but resell at ₦945 or more.

Consumers paying above the approved rates at any partner station are encouraged to report with their receipts for a refund. The new price structure includes:
– MRS: ₦860 (Lagos), ₦870 (South-West), ₦880 (North), ₦890 (South-South/South-East)
– Heyden & AP: ₦865 (Lagos), ₦875 (South-West), ₦885 (North), ₦895 (South-South/South-East)

Dangote Refinery emphasized its commitment to delivering high-quality, eco-friendly fuel while supporting Nigeria’s economic growth and energy security.

“This initiative is part of our dedication to providing lasting energy solutions and a more prosperous future for all Nigerians,” the refinery concluded.
