Dangote Petroleum Refinery has again announced a further reduction in the prices of both diesel and aviation fuel to N940, and N980 per litre respectively.
The price change of N940 applies 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.
Dangote’s Head of Communication, Mr Anthony Chiejina, explained that the new price aligns with the company’s commitment to cushion the effect of economic hardship in Nigeria.
“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 prices, 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 explained.
