Partners of the Dangote Refinery have yet to lower pump rates at their filling stations, even though they receive gasoline at N820 per liter with no logistics charges. The majority of stations kept their pricing the same, with the exception of a few MRS stations in Lagos that raised their prices to N841 per liter. While other stations along the same axis offered petrol for N865 per litre, the MRS station at Alapere had large lines as drivers rushed to get it at N841.
However, gas prices at the MRS station in Olowotedo, which is located along Ogun State’s Mowe–Ibafo axis, reached N875 per liter. While Ardova and others maintained rates between N865 and N870 per litre, Heyden offered N863.Remember how Dangote Refinery cooperated with marketers such as Conoil, Eterna, Golden Super, Nepal Energies, Kifayat Global Energy, and Riquest and Gas under its logistics-free fuel distribution scheme?
In order to facilitate direct fuel distribution throughout the nation, the refinery had previously stated that gasoline prices were anticipated to decrease starting on September 15 after the deployment of over 1,000 trucks powered by compressed natural gas. Dangote claims that the program was created to drop the ex-depot price to N820 per litre and minimize logistics costs, which would result in cheaper pump prices across the country.
Drivers in Abuja, Rivers, Delta, Edo, and Kwara states were predicted to spend N851 per litre under the new pricing structure, while those in Lagos and other South-Western states were likely to pay N841 per liter.
