Key Points:
- Dangote Refinery cuts petrol price across most zones today. New gantry price stays at N820 per litre.
- Direct fuel drop to buyers starts Monday, September 15. The firm will use 4,000 CNG trucks for runs.
- Pump price falls by N19 in Lagos and South-west. Abuja and South-south see N34 cuts from Monday.
Nigerians will pay less for petrol from Dangote today. The firm has trimmed pump rates across key states. It also fixed a new date for direct drop. The plan kicks off on Monday, September 15.
Dangote kept the gantry price at N820 per litre. It said the move will hold across the board. Last month, the gantry rate sat at the same level. Now, the pump cuts follow that base cost.
New direct delivery date and price details
The direct drop will start on Monday, September 15. It first planned August 15, but moved the day. Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, and Ekiti now pay N841. That is down from N860 at many listed pumps.
Abuja, Edo, Delta, Rivers, and Kwara will pay N851. That is down from N885 in those same zones. So, buyers there get a N34 drop per litre. Lagos and the South-west get N19 off per litre.
Recent news on the Mele Kyari refinery probe adds fresh context.
How the direct scheme will run
The $20 billion plant will drive this new step. It can process 650,000 barrels of crude each day. It will send fuel with 4,000 CNG truck nationwide. The firm says drop cost to buyers is zero.
Dangote shared a fresh price sheet on its X page. It also kept its gantry price at N820 again. The plant told users its team will hold the plan. It said pumps in the list will show the cuts.
Union row and what buyers should expect
The firm still has a row with NUPENG today. The union may return to strike, it warned Thursday. Dangote says staff may join unions by free choice. Talks will guide the next steps before the date.
The new price sheet does not bind all pump owners. It binds MRS and other named retail partners only. So, some shops may keep old rates for now. Buyers should ask pump staff for fresh posted rates.
Fans also link fuel talk to hardship bites across Nigeria.
From Monday, buyers should see clear cuts at more pumps. Road teams will start runs with trucks and price cards. The firm says the plan will ease long, hard queues. We will track the roll out and share fresh tips
