Nigerians may soon heave a heavy sigh of relief as Dangote Petroleum Refinery announced a cut in petrol pump price from N990 per litre to N970 per litre for marketers.
The company stated that this price cut is a gesture of appreciation to Nigerians for their continued support in making the refinery a reality.
As the year draws to a close, Dangote Refinery also expressed its gratitude to the Nigerian government for its unwavering support, highlighting that the reduction aligns with efforts to strengthen domestic industries for the benefit of all.
In its statement, Anthony Chiejina, Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer, emphasized that while the refinery is committed to reducing costs, it will not compromise on the quality of its products.
The refinery assures the public of high-quality, environmentally friendly, and sustainable fuel.
Looking ahead, Dangote Refinery is focused on increasing production capacity to meet and exceed the nation’s fuel demands, ensuring stability and security in the domestic fuel supply chain.
In the Nigerian economy that is heavily challenged by deficit in transportation infrastructure, especially the near absence of reliable mass transport system, this marginal cut is expected to have a cascading effect on inflationary trend and the price of ancillary services.
