Dangote refinery opens direct sales
In a related move, Dangote Petroleum Refinery has opened the sale of petrol to all licensed marketers, ending its previous consortium marketing arrangement. The refinery also reduced its ex-gantry price and aligned its coastal loading price with the ex-gantry price, removing the previous pricing difference between the two channels. All qualified marketers can now buy directly from its loading gantry, widening access to locally refined petrol.
The latest NNPC reductions give some relief to motorists and businesses that have faced high fuel costs. Lower pump prices could ease transport and production expenses for Nigerian consumers and firms.
