Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals has announced the reversal of the gantry price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also knowns as petrol, from N739 per litre to N799 per litre.
This development was announced in a statement issued late on Monday by the Refinery.
Recall that the Refinery in December announced the nationwide sales of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) at a pump price of N739 per litre across all MRS Oil Nigeria Plc filling stations during the festive period, marking the second consecutive festive season in which the Refinery absorbed significant costs in the national interest, including logistics support in 2024 and a price reduction in 2025 to promote affordability and market calm.
However, it said despite the price reduction, many filling stations failed to reflect the new price at the pump, thereby denying Nigerians the benefits of the reduction, announcing that with the festive period concluded, PMS prices have been modestly realigned to sustainable levels to support long term market stability and affordability.
“Under the current alignment, the PMS gantry price is N799 per litre, while MRS retail outlets are selling at N839 per litre,” it said.
According to the statement, the Chief Executive Officer of Dangote Petroleum Refinery, David Bird, stated that the Refinery continues to supply the domestic market with approximately 50 million litres of PMS daily, with nationwide evacuation and distribution operating normally.
He noted that the Refinery’s design flexibility allows it to process a wide range of crude and intermediate feedstocks, enabling continued PMS supply during planned maintenance activities. According to him, this capability ensures that domestic supply remains stable and uninterrupted.
As a domestic producer, Dangote Petroleum Refinery continues to shield the Nigerian market from import related volatility and external supply disruptions, while remaining a stabilising force in the downstream petroleum sector.
Dangote Petroleum Refinery remains focused on delivering energy security, price stability, and long-term value for Nigerians.
