Report Stations Selling Above N739 per Litre — Dangote Refinery Tells Nigerians

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has urged Nigerians to report any filling stations selling petrol above N739 per litre, following the nationwide rollout of locally refined fuel at that price. The refinery said the move is aimed at making petrol more affordable and stabilising Nigeria’s downstream petroleum market.

Speaking on Sunday, the company praised marketers who have already reflected the reduced price at the pump. “We commend MRS and other marketers who have demonstrated patriotism by reflecting the reduced price at the pump,” the refinery said. “We call on others to join this effort as a show of support for Nigeria’s economic recovery.”

With over 2,000 MRS Oil Nigeria Plc stations across the country, Dangote Refinery said the new pricing is expected to reach consumers nationwide. The company highlighted that the festive season often brings fuel scarcity and sharp price hikes, but its guaranteed daily supply of 50 million litres is set to ease market pressures.

The refinery warned against attempts to exploit the price reduction. “Any attempt to create artificial scarcity or manipulate supply to frustrate recent price reductions is unpatriotic and unacceptable,” the statement read. “We urge regulatory authorities to remain vigilant and take firm action against such practices, especially during this critical festive period.”

Consumers were advised to avoid paying inflated prices and to report any MRS station selling above N739 per litre by calling 0800 123 5264. “We encourage Nigerians to avoid buying PMS at excessively high prices when they can access locally refined fuel at N739 per litre from over 2,000 MRS stations nationwide,” the refinery said.

Dangote Refinery also called on other petrol station operators to source its products so that the benefits of lower prices can be passed to Nigerians across all outlets. Reaffirming its commitment to steady supply and energy security, the company said its operations are guided by long-term national interests rather than short-term market pressures.
