JUST IN: Again, Dangote reduces prices of diesel, aviation fuel

Dangote Petroleum Refinery on Tuesday announced further reduction in the prices of diesel and aviation fuel to N940, N980 per litre respectively.

Anthony Chiejina, Head of Communications, Dangote Group, while confirming the new prices, said it was in line with the company’s effort to reduce the economic hardship in Nigeria.

Chiejina stated the new price of N940 for diesel is applicable to customers buying five million litres and above from the refinery while the price of N970 is for customers buying one million litres and above.

“I can confirm to you that Dangote Petroleum Refinery has entered a strategic partnership with MRS Oil and Gas stations, to ensure that consumers get to buy fuel at affordable price, in all their stations be it Lagos or Maiduguri.”

“You can buy as low as 1 litre of diesel at N1,050 and aviation fuel at N980 at all major airports where MRS operates,” he stated.

He further stated that the partnership will be extended to other major oil marketers.

“The essence of this is to ensure that retail buyers do not buy at exorbitant prices.

“The Dangote Group is committed to ensuring that Nigerians have a better welfare and as such, we are happy to announce this new prices and hope that it would go a long way to cushion the effect of economic challenges in the country,” he added.
