Dangote Refinery Reduces Petrol, Diesel Prices by Maxymilliano(op): 4:28pm On Mar 10

Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals has announced reductions in prices of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, and diesel.

According to a new pricing template released by the refinery on March 10, 2026, the gantry price of petrol has been reduced by N100, dropping from N1,175 to N1,075 per litre.

The refinery also stated that the price of PMS for coastal supply will now be N1,050 per litre. The difference in price reflects additional costs linked to maritime distribution.

Similarly, the price of Automotive Gas Oil (diesel) has been reduced to N1,430 per litre at the gantry, down from the previous N1,620 per litre. This represents a decrease of N190 per litre.

The refinery noted that these gantry prices do not include regulatory charges from the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).

Meanwhile, Tribune Online earlier reported on Monday that Dangote Petroleum Refinery raised its gantry PMS price to N1,175 per litre — the third upward adjustment in seven days

The refinery communicated the new ex-depot price to marketers and depot operators, up ₦180 from the N995 per litre announced last week Friday, an 18.1 per cent increase in three days.

Is this how dangote will determine the destiny of an entire nation?

Where is Tinubu and the entire presidency team? Why are they quiet?

What is going on?

I'm not supporting dangote. Neither am I encouraging him.
I just wish Nigeria was a working country. Dangote is virtually running as a monopoly. It is well.

This is a horseshit... U mean , only an individual now has the right and willingness to determine the fortune of a Nation??

Omohhhhhhhhhhh 💔... This country is long gone. I would have said we got independent way too early or maybe prolly, blame these nincompoop fellas at the helms of government back then. I mean, around 1960s to late 90s, Nigeria was widely regarded in the world, right now we're almost like the centre of comedy.. this sucks.

I'm a Yoruba guy, I'll definitely say we needa get rid of these old people at helms of government else this country will keep sinking each and everyday.

Let's take back our country like Botswana did.. 💔

As much as what is going on will not favour the masses in the long run, Dangote is adjusting timely in line with Brent price fluctuations.

The fact that we still do not have fully functional National refineries and power stations in the 27th year of the 4th Republic is beyond embarrassing.

Yeah, the price of crude have started dropping slowly so the price should also drop as the days go by. From 112 dollar per barrel to 88 dollar as at today.

Over ten years of holding licence, nothing happened.

Well the reason why we don't have national refineries and power is because for over 5 decades, most of us Nigerians insisted on underpaying for their products in the name of subsidy

Dangote refinery would have been on the scrapheap too if it was forced to charge subsidized prices for it's product.
