Dangote Petroleum Refinery has once again announced a further drop in the prices of diesel and aviation fuel, now selling at N940 and N980 per litre respectively.
Recall that two weeks back Dangote was widely applauded for the reduction to N1,000.
According to Dangote, the price change of N940 is applicable to customers buying five million litres and above from the refinery, while the price of N970 is for customers buying one million litres and above.
Speaking on the latest development, Anthony Chiejina, the Head of Communication, clarified that the adjusted price aligns with the company’s dedication to alleviate the impact of economic challenges in Nigeria.
Chiejina while speaking said, “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.”
“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 added.
This marks the third major reduction in diesel price in less than three weeks when the product sold at N1,700 to N1,200 and also a further reduction to N1,000 and now N940 for diesel and N980 for aviation fuel per litre.
Nigerian President Bola Tinubu had also commended Mr Dangote for the initial price reduction, describing it as an “enterprising feat.”
