The prices vary across states, with residents of Sokoto, Oyo, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and Kano expected to pay N999.22, N960.22, and N992.22 per litre, respectively.
These prices are based on September 2024 pricing following the refinery’s first loading of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) at its Lagos facility in Ibeju-Lekki.
NNPC confirmed it purchased PMS from Dangote Refinery at N898 per litre, which followed initial pricing disputes between both entities.
While Dangote Refinery sold fuel in US dollars, Naira transactions for crude oil will commence in October 2024. NNPC highlighted that it is prepared to pass on any price discounts offered by Dangote Refinery to the general public.
The statement clarified that NNPC is paying Dangote Refinery in dollars, as stipulated by the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), and reiterated that the government no longer sets PMS prices, which are now negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
