Dangote Petroleum Refinery on Tuesday announced a further reduction in the prices of diesel and aviation fuel to N940, N980 per litre respectively, Theliberationnews reports.
The development is coming barely two weeks after the refinery crashed diesel price to N1,000.
Speaking on the new development, the Head of Communication, Mr Anthony Chiejina, explained that the new price is in furtherance of the company’s commitment to cushion the effect of economic hardship in Nigeria.
He explained that the price change of N940 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.
Chiejina said, “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 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 these new prices and hope that it would go a long way to cushion the effect of economic challenges in the country,” he added.
