The Dangote Petroleum Refinery will begin the direct distribution of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to filling stations across the country, beginning on Monday, September 15, 2025.
It has also reduced the price of the commodity.
In a statement by the company, it said the initiative will see the gantry price reduced to N820 per litre, with corresponding lower pump prices in several key states in the country.
Lagos and other South-Western states will see fuel retailing at N841 per litre, while Abuja, Rivers, Delta, Edo, and Kwara states will sell at N851 per litre.
“The first phase of the deployment will cover the Federal Capital Territory, Lagos, Kwara, Delta, Edo, Rivers and South West states, with nationwide expansion planned as additional trucks are delivered,” the Dangote Refinery said on Thursday.
“This transition to CNG-powered transportation is expected to save the Nigerian economy over N1.8 trillion annually. The move is designed to cut fuel distribution costs, reduce pump prices, and ease inflationary pressures.
“In particular, the initiative is expected to benefit more than 42 million micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) by lowering energy costs and improving profit margins.”
