***Offers Relief to Nigerians for the coming Ramadan
By Mercy Adi
In a move aimed at providing relief to Nigerians, Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced a substantial reduction in the ex-depot price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly referred to as petrol. Effective from February 27, 2025, the price of petrol will be reduced by N65.00, from N890 to N825 per litre.
This price adjustment is designed to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic recovery policy by alleviating the financial burden on the Nigerian populace, particularly in anticipation of the upcoming Ramadan season. This marks the second price reduction of PMS in February 2025, following a previous decrease of N60.00 earlier in the month.
Dangote Petroleum Refinery has consistently demonstrated its commitment to easing the cost of living and providing relief to Nigerians. In December 2024, during the yuletide period, the refinery reduced the price of PMS by N70.50, from N970 to N899.50 per litre.
With the latest reduction, Nigerians will be able to purchase Dangote petrol at the following prices in all partner retail outlets:
MRS Holdings stations, at N860 per litre in Lagos, N870 per litre in the South-West, N880 per litre in the North, and N890 per litre in the South-South and South-East.
AP (Ardova Petroleum) and Heyden stations: N865 per litre in Lagos, N875 per litre in the South-West, N885 per litre in the North, and N895 per litre in the South-South and South-East.
The company has assured the public of a consistent supply of petroleum products, with sufficient reserves to meet domestic demand and a surplus for export to enhance the country’s foreign exchange earnings. Dangote Petroleum Refinery has called on marketers to support this initiative, ensuring that Nigerians remain the primary beneficiaries of this effort.
