The initiative, which took effect from February 27, 2025, also sees Dangote Refinery absorbing a loss of N16 billion in the process, ensuring that Nigerians can enjoy cheaper fuel without any financial burden falling on marketers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1105\" data-end=\"1393\">\u201cThe step guarantees that none of our valued business partners will experience a loss due to the price change,\u201d the refinery stated in a recent press release. \u201cMore importantly, it ensures that the new, lower rate takes immediate effect nationwide for the benefit of the Nigerian people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1395\" data-end=\"1745\">The price reduction initiative extends beyond MRS Holdings, Ardova Plc (AP), and Heyden, with Dangote urging other marketers sourcing from the refinery to pass on the benefits of the new pricing to consumers at the retail level. The refinery further emphasized the need for collective efforts to provide affordable and quality products for Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1747\" data-end=\"2149\">Dangote also condemned the practice of profiteering from the new pricing structure, describing it as \u201cunpatriotic\u201d and \u201cdetrimental\u201d to the welfare of Nigerians. The statement warned against any party purchasing PMS at the new rate of N825 per litre and selling it at inflated prices, such as N945 per litre, as this would be an act of excessive profiteering, which further burdens the Nigerian people.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2151\" data-end=\"2381\">Consumers who purchase fuel above the advertised rates from any of Dangote&#8217;s partners \u2013 AP (Ardova Plc), Heyden, or MRS \u2013 are encouraged to report to the refinery with their receipts to receive a full refund for the excess amount.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2383\" data-end=\"2427\">The approved rates per litre are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2429\" data-end=\"2652\">\n<li data-start=\"2429\" data-end=\"2536\"><strong data-start=\"2431\" data-end=\"2439\">MRS:<\/strong> N860 in Lagos, N870 in the South-West, N880 in the North, N890 in the South-South and South-East<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2537\" data-end=\"2652\"><strong data-start=\"2539\" data-end=\"2555\">Heyden &amp; AP:<\/strong> N865 in Lagos, N875 in the South-West, N885 in the North, N895 in the South-South and South-East<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2654\" data-end=\"2825\">With the new gantry price of N825 per litre, Dangote Refinery assures that no Nigerian will pay more than N900 per litre for PMS, regardless of location or petrol station.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2827\" data-end=\"3137\">\u201cWe are committed to providing high-quality, eco-friendly fuel that not only benefits vehicle performance but also supports public health,\u201d the refinery said in its statement. \u201cOur efforts align with President Bola Tinubu\u2019s Renewed Hope Agenda, which promotes self-sufficiency in critical sectors like energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3139\" data-end=\"3388\">Dangote Refinery concluded by reaffirming its dedication to Nigeria\u2019s economic growth and energy security, emphasizing that this initiative is just one of many ways the refinery is contributing to a sustainable and prosperous future for the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dangote Petroleum Refinery &amp; Petrochemicals has announced it will refund customers who purchase Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) at rates higher than the newly reduced prices from its key partners \u2013 Ardova Plc (AP), Heyden, or MRS \u2013 across Nigeria.
