Nigeria's Dangote Refinery cuts fuel prices again, signals further moderation
Nigeria's Dangote Refinery has made a fresh cut, lowering petrol prices by 200 naira per litre within a month. The refinery said it had absorbed the surge in global oil prices itself. The company signalled further moderation in fuel prices ahead.
Nigeria's giant Dangote Refinery has cut the price of petrol (PMS) by a further 200 naira per litre, its second reduction within a month. The refinery said it had absorbed the recent rise in global oil prices itself rather than passing it on to consumers.
The cut matters because it eases pressure on fuel costs and inflation in Africa's most populous country. Nigeria long depended on imported fuel, and the arrival of domestic refining capacity is now reshaping price dynamics.
The refinery signalled that further moderation in prices is expected in the period ahead. Analysts said rising local production could reduce Nigeria's need for foreign currency and revive competition in the fuel market, though sustained relief will depend on stable supply and global crude trends.
