The refinery, which has a production capacity of 650,000 barrels per day, emphasized that the new price template and direct fuel distribution scheme will officially take effect on Monday, September 15, 2025.
Meanwhile, DAILY POST reports that the Dangote Refinery price template is not binding on other petroleum marketers and retailers except for MRS and the refinery’s other official distribution partners.
The company is currently involved in discussions with the Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), which recently threatened to return to strike, alleging that Dangote Group reneged on prior resolutions. Dangote Group, however, stated that it respects the voluntary membership of unions by its employees.
The direct distribution initiative, initially slated to begin on August 15, 2025, will allow the $20 billion refinery to distribute petrol and diesel using its fleet of 4,000 compressed natural gas trucks at zero logistics cost, underscoring the company’s commitment to ensuring accessibility and affordability of fuel for Nigerians.
