Dangote Drops Ex-Depot Petrol Price To ₦820 Per Litre

Dangote Petroleum Refinery on Tuesday further dropped the ex-depot price per litre of petrol from ₦840 to ₦820.

In an update, a spokesman for the refinery, Tony Chiejina, confirmed the ₦20 marginal reduction, which occurred about one week after the $20bn refinery dropped ex-depot petrol price from ₦880 to ₦840 on June 30, 2025.

Chiejina said the new ex-depot price of ₦820 took effect from Tuesday, July 8, 2025.

Filling stations like MRS Oil & Gas, Ardova Plc, Heyden, and others with special agreements with the Dangote Refinery are expected to reduce their pump price further below ₦880 to reflect the marginal reduction in the ex-depot price of the premium commodity.

On Sunday, June 15, 2025, the Lagos-based refinery announced the free distribution of petrol and diesel to marketers, dealers, and other large users across the country.

The 650,000 barrels-per-day capacity refinery said it has procured 4,000 brand-new Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered tankers for the take-off of the initiative on August 15, 2025.
