The new price represents a ₦30 reduction from ₦865 per litre implemented six days ago, marking a 3.5 per cent decrease, and a ₦45 reduction from the ₦880 per litre sold by the facility last Wednesday.

This price cut marks Dangote’s third downward adjustment in under six weeks.

A pro forma invoice was sighted by newsmen, and checks on petroleumprice.ng also confirmed the development.

It stated that the new price is inclusive of charges by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).

The document detailing the revised price structure shows that PMS at the gantry will now sell for ₦835 per litre, inclusive of NMDPRA statutory levies, while coastal sales remain on hold. The diesel gantry price is set at $608 plus a $70 surcharge, payable either in naira at ₦1,650/$ or in USD.

Coastal sales are also on hold. Jet fuel will be sold at $664.75 with a $42 gantry surcharge and a $22 coastal surcharge. Prices for cooking gas at both gantry and coastal points are currently on hold.
