By MWorld Team Feb 26, 20250

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced a significant reduction in the ex-depot price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), lowering it by ₦65 per litre, from ₦890 to ₦825 per litre, effective February 27, 2025.

The move, aimed at alleviating financial strain on Nigerians, comes ahead of the Ramadan season and aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic recovery strategy. By reducing fuel costs, the refinery seeks to ease the burden of living expenses and contribute to overall economic stability.

This marks the second price cut in February 2025, following an earlier reduction of ₦60 per litre at the beginning of the month. In December 2024, during the yuletide season, the refinery also slashed PMS prices by ₦70.50 per litre, bringing the cost down from ₦970 to ₦899.50 per litre, ensuring price stability and mitigating fuel scarcity during the festive period.
