Dangote Refinery to Begin Free Petrol Delivery from Sept 15, Slashes Ex-Gantry Price
The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced that it will commence free delivery of petrol across Nigeria starting September 15, a move that is expected to ease the burden of high transportation and fuel costs on marketers and consumers.
In addition to free delivery, the refinery has also slashed its ex-gantry price, making petrol more affordable for marketers who purchase directly from its facility. Industry experts say this decision could significantly reduce the price of petrol at filling stations, bringing much-needed relief to Nigerians battling rising living costs.
According to reports, the refinery’s new strategy aims to stabilize the downstream oil sector by cutting logistics costs and offering more competitive prices compared to imported fuel. This comes as the Dangote Refinery continues to position itself as a game-changer in Nigeria’s energy industry.
Marketers and stakeholders have welcomed the development, stating that free delivery and reduced ex-gantry prices will increase efficiency, cut expenses, and potentially lower pump prices for millions of Nigerians.
As the refinery fully ramps up production, many are optimistic that it will not only reduce Nigeria’s reliance on fuel imports but also bring a new wave of stability to the oil and gas sector.
