Dangote Petroleum Refinery has reduced its petrol gantry price by N25 to N1,250 per litre, in a move that traders across Nigeria’s downstream market had widely anticipated.
According to sources familiar with the subject, the 650-barrel-per-day refinery cut down ex-depot petrol price from N1,275 per litre.
The new pricing is expected to trigger immediate reactions across private depots and marketing channels, especially after days of cautious trading activity driven by expectations of a downward adjustment.
Market checks by Petroleumprice.ng show that depot prices were already responding to shifting supply dynamics. Aiteo and Nipco were selling at N1,272 per litre, while Integrated, Ascon and African Terminal were trading around N1,274 per litre, trading below Dangote’s previous Gantry price of N1,275 per litre.
