NNPC Ltd. has released new petrol prices from Dangote Refinery, with discounts passed directly to Nigerians. These changes bring affordable fuel, job creation, and long-term economic growth, empowering individuals and businesses to thrive.
Introduction to the New Petrol Pricing
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) has announced the estimated pump prices for Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, from the Dangote Refinery, effective from September 2024. These prices are influenced by international gasoline rates and foreign exchange provisions under the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) 2021. As Nigeria moves towards local production, this initiative aims to provide economic benefits for both daily personal and business needs.
State-Specific Petrol Prices
The new petrol prices vary across different states in Nigeria, reflecting the economic adjustments and distribution costs:
Sokoto State: ₦999.22
Kano State: ₦999.22
Kaduna State: ₦999.22
FCT (Abuja): ₦992.22
Oyo State: ₦960.22
Lagos State: ₦950.22
Imo State: ₦903.22
Rivers State: ₦880.22
Borno State: ₦1,019.22
These prices reflect regional factors and logistical costs, ensuring that consumers in each area can better understand how fuel costs will impact their daily activities.
Affordable fuel isn’t just about savings; it’s about investing in your future and strengthening our economy together.
Building Self-Reliance Through Local Refining
The NNPC Ltd.’s plan to shift from USD payments to Naira transactions by October 2024 will contribute to strengthening the Naira. This move, coupled with local refining, promotes self-reliance by creating jobs and reducing dependency on foreign imports. For Nigerian businesses and citizens, understanding and adapting to this new economic landscape will be crucial for managing fuel costs and improving personal finances or business operations.
How the New Pricing Affects You
One of the most significant benefits of this pricing model is its potential to stabilize fuel costs. NNPC Ltd. has assured that any discount from the Dangote Refinery will benefit the public. As a result, consumers can expect more affordable fuel, reducing transportation costs and helping manage personal and operational expenses effectively. Lower fuel prices could also lead to reduced costs for goods and services, benefiting both individuals and businesses.

This pricing initiative is a part of broader government efforts to secure long-term economic growth. By reducing pressure on the Naira and paying for crude oil in local currency, Nigeria aims to stabilize its economy.

Now is the time to learn, adapt, and use these changes to improve both personal and business success.
How You Can Benefit
The new pricing system offers an opportunity for Nigerians to save on fuel costs and reinvest those savings in education, skill development, and business expansion. As an NGO, we encourage our readers to understand these changes and use the potential benefits for self-improvement and economic growth.
