Dangote Petroleum Refinery has commenced free delivery of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly known as petrol or fuel, to six locations across Nigeria, including the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, while retaining its ex-depot price of ₦1,075 per litre.
Naijaonpoint reports that the refinery announced the initiative in a notice shared on its official 𝕏 handle on Wednesday.
According to the company, the free delivery service covers Lagos, Ogun, Rivers, Kaduna and Delta states, as well as the Federal Capital Territory.
The refinery said the offer was available to customers purchasing a minimum of 250,000 litres of petrol.
The development comes shortly after Dangote Refinery held discussions with stakeholders in Nigeria’s downstream petroleum sector over cost-reflective pricing for petrol.
The engagement ended with stakeholders expressing support for further reductions in the price of the product.
Dangote Refinery had recently announced its fourth reduction in the gantry price of petrol, bringing the ex-depot price down to ₦1,075 per litre.
The latest free delivery initiative is expected to reduce logistics costs for qualifying customers in the covered locations.
Meanwhile, the President of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Abubakar Maigandi, said the retail price of petrol had fallen by ₦125 per litre over the past three weeks.
According to him, pump prices now range between ₦1,155 and ₦1,299 per litre, depending on the location and marketer.
The latest developments come amid ongoing changes in the downstream petroleum sector and continued discussions over petrol pricing and distribution costs across the country.
