Respite for Nigerians as Dangote Refinery Reduces Petrol Price Massively

The refinery said the cut follows lower crude benchmarks and will also reduce coastal prices, with outstanding gantry volumes repriced immediately.

  • On Tuesday, the Dangote Petroleum Refinery reduced the gantry price of Premium Motor Spirit by N75 per litre to N1,175, effective June 16, 2026.
  • Global crude prices crashed following the de-escalation of tension in the Middle East, as United States President Donald Trump announced a peace deal with Iran.
  • Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude blends crashed drastically, leading Dangote to reduce its coastal price per metric tonne to N1,495,215 from N1,595,790.
  • Retail fuel prices are expected to drop significantly across Nigeria in the coming weeks from their current price of N1,317, offering respite for Nigerians.
  • According to the refinery, the adjustment reflects lower energy costs over the past three months, while outstanding unloaded gantry volumes were repriced at the new rate.
