Dangote Refinery has announced a reduction in its price of Premium Motor Spirit, also known as petrol, for marketers.
A statement signed on Sunday by Anthony Chiejina, Group Chief Branding, and Communications Officer at Dangote, said the price, which was N990 per litre, has now been reviewed to N970 per litre for marketers lifting the products from its refinery.
Chiejina said the move was to appreciate the good people of Nigeria for their unwavering support in making the Refinery a dream come true.
The statement read, “Dangote Petroleum Refinery has effected a reduction in the prevailing price of its Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from N990/litre to N970/litre for the marketers.
“As the year comes to an end, this is our way of appreciating the good people of Nigeria for their unwavering support in making the Refinery a dream come true. In addition, this is to thank the government for their support as this will complement the measures put in place to encourage domestic enterprise for our collective well-being.
“While the refinery would not compromise on the quality of its petroleum products, We assure you of the best quality products that are environmentally friendly and sustainable.
“We are determined to keep ramping up production to meet and surpass our domestic fuel consumption; thus, dispelling any fear of a shortfall in supply.”
Meanwhile, the refinery and the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria had earlier reached an agreement for a direct lifting of petroleum products from the facility.
