Dangote Refinery Offers N65/Litre Refund to Customers-Dangote Refinery

The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced that it will issue refunds to customers who purchased Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) at prices higher than the advertised rates from any of its key partners – Ardova Plc, Heyden, or MRS – across Nigeria.

This decision follows the refinery’s recent reduction of its gantry price from N890 per litre to N825 per litre.

In a statement on Sunday, the refinery explained that this measure is part of its ongoing efforts to ensure that Nigerians benefit from the price reduction, in line with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda aimed at stimulating the economy.

The refinery confirmed that it would refund N65 per litre on over 200,000 metric tonnes of PMS purchased by marketers at the old gantry price of N890 per litre before the new rate of N825 per litre.

The statement revealed that the refinery absorbed a N16bn loss by refunding N65/litre to marketers to ensure Nigerians benefit from cheaper fuel.

“The step, effective February 27, 2025, guarantees that none of our valued business partners will experience a loss due to the price change. More importantly, it ensures that the new, lower rate takes immediate effect nationwide for the benefit of the Nigerian people,” the statement said.

The refinery emphasized that this initiative extends beyond MRS Holdings, Ardova Plc, and Heyden, urging other marketers sourcing stock from it to pass on the benefits of the new pricing to consumers at the retail level, encouraging a collective commitment to affordable, quality products.

Dangote also condemned any exploitation of the new pricing structure.

“It is both unpatriotic and detrimental to the welfare of Nigerians for any party to purchase at a rate of N825 per litre and then sell to consumers at N945 or more per litre. This constitutes excessive profiteering, further burdening Nigerians for personal gain.

“Dangote refinery, in its effort to ensure good quality and affordable fuel for Nigerians, is working with its partners to make this price accessible. Consumers who purchase fuel above the advertised rate at any of its key partners – Ardova Plc (AP), Heyden, or MRS – anywhere in Nigeria are encouraged to report to Dangote refinery with their receipts for a full refund of the excess amount,” the statement added.

The company reiterated, “The approved rates per litre are as follows: MRS: N860 in Lagos, N870 in the South-West, N880 in the North, and N890 in the South-South and South-East; Heyden and AP: N865 in Lagos, N875 in the South-West, N885 in the North, and N895 in the South-South and South-East.

“With the new gantry price set at N825 per litre, Dangote Refinery expects that no Nigerian will pay more than N900 per litre for PMS, regardless of location or petrol station. The refinery also underlined its commitment to providing high-quality, eco-friendly fuel that benefits vehicle performance and supports public health.

“Our commitment aligns with the objectives of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which champions self-sufficiency in critical sectors like energy. We remain dedicated to supporting Nigeria’s economic growth and ensuring every Nigerian has access to affordable, high-quality energy solutions.”

The Dangote refinery concluded that the initiative is one of the many ways it continues to contribute to a prosperous and sustainable future for our country.

“In this journey toward energy security, we stand united with the Nigerian people, always striving to provide lasting solutions and a more prosperous future for all,” the statement concluded.
