Relief for Nigerians as Dangote cuts cooking gas Price to ₦760/kg

In a move that could transform Nigeria’s domestic energy market, the Dangote Petroleum Refinery has once again reduced the price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), also known as cooking gas.

The new ex-depot price now stands at ₦760 per kilogram, down from ₦810 last week.

This marks the refinery’s second major price cut in less than a month, and it continues to position Dangote as the leading driver of affordability in the gas sector.

Industry watchers say the move will bring much-needed relief to millions of households struggling with rising living costs and inflation.

Compared to other major suppliers, Dangote’s price stands far lower. Matrix and Ardova depots currently sell at ₦920 per kilogram, while A.Y.M Shafa and NIPCO are at ₦910 per kilogram.

Stockgap Depot, one of the biggest players in the market, sells for as high as ₦950 per kilogram.

The price gap ranging from ₦150 to ₦190 per kilogram—highlights Dangote’s strong market influence and its growing role in stabilizing Nigeria’s energy prices.

Experts in the petroleum and energy sector have described the refinery’s strategy as a deliberate attempt to reshape market dynamics and discourage unnecessary price hikes by other depots.

By offering cheaper LPG, Dangote is believed to be setting a new benchmark that could force competitors to reduce their prices and make gas more accessible to Nigerian consumers.

Industry analysts also say that the refinery’s latest move aligns with its broader mission to boost domestic energy supply, reduce dependence on imports, and support the federal government’s agenda for clean energy transition.

Many Nigerians have welcomed the development, expressing hope that the reduction will reflect at the retail level, especially in local markets where consumers often face inflated prices.

If sustained, the Dangote Refinery’s consistent price adjustments could not only stabilize the cooking gas market but also encourage more households to switch from firewood and charcoal to cleaner energy sources helping to protect the environment and improve public health.

Great one from DANGOTE!

However, he NEEDS Filling Stations for both GAS and Petrol that'll sell DIRECTLY to final consumers.

Otherwise, this INCREDIBLE savings he keeps giving every month will NEVER make it to end users.

The MIDDLEMEN from Hell will keep pocketing the difference.
And Nigerians will keep looking in FUTILITY for the impacts of the much touted Dangote Refinery.

I can't wait for the price war in LPG. Dangote is seriously keeping these people busy. Who is next in line for protests and possibly to question the quality of the LPG to come out of his refinery?

Far cheaper than the ones from govt affiliated sources.

I think your words are so wise that even Dangote listens to you.

Through his company, MRS Africa Holdings, Dantata has built a network of more than 800 retail outlets, surpassing rivals and positioning himself as the single largest downstream beneficiary of the $20-billion Dangote Petroleum Refinery.

Shame on the enemies of Nigeria.
Shame on the enemies of Dangote

Y'all should bury your heads in shame

This is a good relief for Nigerians. Thanks to Dangote.

He does all these yet Obidients still hate him.
Without him we would be buying PMS at 2k by now.
NNPCL just increased the pump price of PMS them no talk.
If Dangs add@ N1 Obidients will say he is taking advantage of Nigerians.
I ask them why una Messiah no do something to help Nigerians? Shebi Peter na Billionaire too?

Eyaa… Nigerians are really going through a lot…

E no easy

Good news!

Where is the barrsterhdd called iiwwaaeeddaa?

I wish Dangote can be producing even eggs and bread in this country

Through out the artificial scarcity, it was sold for 1100-1200 in Jos,Plateau State. Na southerners dey do their self🤷🏿, na why they carry union matters for head. From factory, school, junction, community,

Keep deceiving yourself if you think Dangote loves the masses

Get it directly to the consumers at that price, Dazzol.

He will definitely go into distribution his own with filling stations and cut off the middlemen.
From what he said the last time, he seems to be thinking about getting his own filling stations to distribute/sell his refinery products directly to end users

if only dangote can distribute fuel stations like rain oil all over.....and partner with few non saboteurs, then it ll be bye bye to NUPENG and NLNG,

Okay o. Medicine after death. We await the implementation as soon as possible.

This gas is what they flare for free. I wonder why it has to be this expensive. Yes I know machinery to capture, condense, store and distribute LNG costs quite a lot but most of these costs are one off. Gas should be a lot cheaper than what it currently sells for.

Cement is $2in China $7 in Nigeria
China import gas
Nigeria does not


How come?

i just love competition
it brings good products and it reduces price.
thank you dongete

..tommorrow you will still increase it..

..this öne na original greek gift..take & in the future you will see hellll..anuis..

..this one is a strategic move to make the gullibles be on his side against the Union..

..this is what I have been saying..when this man is allowed to do as he likes...Gas & fuel will be like cement prices one dsy in the nearest Ninja way of life...

..Do not be deceived..

Oga he doesn't need filling stations.
That will completely mess up the oil sector.
One person cannot take total control of the upstream, midstream and downstream, yes he has already gotten license for oil exploration.
Some of us have lost a lot of money because of these his trucks.

PS: I totally support Dangote and I stand with him, but despite the fact that his business negatively affects some of us we understand that the soul of Nigeria is most important.

You are not in the oil and gas business so I don't expect you to understand
But if you had 10 tankers sitting idle and their drivers jobless, 2 mudlogin units gathering dust, you will understand

It's tax, it was dead cheap before government saw opportunity in making money from it. Just like CNG is adding price

Nevertheless, some people must criticize him, so far, they hate the man in Aso Rock.

Bro, petroleum business don cast. Start diversifying 📌💯
You need to cut down cost, reducing staffs, install solar

Big brother Dangote to the rescue. I keep telling people that Dangote is the sole reason why we're not buying PMS at #2,000 naira per litre

Break the monopoly and gangsters, same folks will sell for 150.
