Dangote Petroleum Refinery has urged Nigerians to report any MRS and affiliate fuel stations dispensing the product over N739 per litre as it has fixed the price across all sellers branded in the associate’s colours.
The firm said this would guarantee the success of its nationwide sale of premium motor spirit (PMS) at N739 per litre across all MRS Oil Nigeria Plc filling stations.
The refinery urged consumers to refrain from buying petrol at inflated prices, noting that high-quality alternatives are available.
“We encourage Nigerians to avoid buying PMS at excessively high prices when they can access locally refined fuel at N739 per litre from over 2,000 MRS stations nationwide,” the firm said.
“Report any MRS station selling above N739 per litre by calling 0800 123 5264.
“We also call on other petrol station operators to patronise our products so that the benefits of this price reduction can be passed on to Nigerians across all outlets, ensuring broad-based relief and a more stable downstream market.”
According to the Dangote Refinery, the move represented a significant milestone in its mission to deliver affordable petrol and stabilise Nigeria’s downstream petroleum market.
The firm said with over 2,000 MRS stations nationwide, the new pricing is expected to be implemented across all outlets, ensuring that the benefits of the reduction reach consumers nationwide.
“We commend MRS and other marketers who have demonstrated patriotism by reflecting the reduced price at the pump,” the refinery said in a statement on Sunday.
“We call on others to join this effort as a show of support for Nigeria’s economic recovery.
“Historically, the festive season has been associated with fuel scarcity and sharp price hikes.
“However, Dangote Refinery has delivered a decisive market intervention—crashing pump prices at a time when Nigerians typically brace for hardship.
“Backed by a guaranteed daily supply of 50 million litres, this initiative fundamentally alters the supply dynamics during the holiday period.”
By refining locally at scale, the refinery said it is reducing Nigeria’s exposure to volatile global markets, conserving foreign exchange (FX), stabilising the naira, and strengthening energy security.
“Any attempt to create artificial scarcity or manipulate supply to frustrate recent price reductions is unpatriotic and unacceptable,” the statement further reads.
“We urge regulatory authorities to remain vigilant and take firm action against such practices, especially during this critical festive period.”
