Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced a reduction in the ex-depot price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) by N65.00, from N890 to N825 per litre, effective from 27th February 2025.
Under the new arrangement, buyers in Lagos would purchase fuel at N860 per litre at MRS outlets.
The management of the refinery revealed that the price cut is aimed at easing financial pressures on Nigerians ahead of the Ramadan season, while aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s economic recovery efforts.
Though, this is the second petrol price reduction by Dangote in February 2025, following a previous N60 decrease earlier in the month.
In December 2024, during the Christmas season, the refinery had also reduced petrol prices by N70.50 — from N970 to N899.50 per litre — as part of efforts to relieve Nigerians of rising living costs.
It outlined the updated prices for various regions:
