Lagos, Nigeria – Abeg, wetin we hear? The Dangote Group don yan say their big refinery go begin to supply petrol direct to eleven states for Nigeria starting from Monday, September 15, 2025. Na serious gisting we get here, as we dey expect plenty changes for petrol price and distribution across di country.
According to di press release wey dem drop on Thursday, di pump price of petrol (we sabi am as PMS) go range from N841 for states like Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Osun, and Ekiti. For Abuja, Delta, Rivers, Edo, and Kwara, dem gatz sell am for N851 per litre. Hey! Make we no forget, di gantry price don dey fixed at N820 per litre wey go make petrol affordable for petrol station operators. (Me, I just dey imagine how everybody go rush go fill dem tank.)
But wait oh, no be just di price, o! Di dangote refinery go also provide free delivery to all petrol station owners wey don register. Na true, like say dem wan make life easier for petrol station owners, as dem dey plan to expand this benefit to di whole country gradually. Chai! Dis one sweet no be small.
Dis move no only go help with petrol distribution, e go also make sure say petrol go dey available consistent across di states wey dem don select initially. You fit join di race, all petrol station operators, just register for free delivery and other benefits. You sabi as e be… if you no check am out, you fit miss serious opportunity.
The Dangote Petroleum Refinery, wey be di largest for Africa, get capacity to refine 650,000 barrels of crude every day. Dis investment wey cost N720 billion gatz reduce Nigeria reliance on imported petrol and strengthen wetin we dey call energy security. E go also create over 15,000 jobs and help people save about N1.7 trillion annually. (Na to chop fresh money be dat, abeg!)
Meanwhile, di announcement come as we dey hear vex noise from di National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG). Dem don put their members on ‘red alert’ because of wahala wey dey happen with Dangote Group over some agreement wey dem gree but na so so wahala e be now. Di union don talk say dem dey ready to resume strike if things no change. (Omo, no be small drama we go dey see oh!)
As e be, di supply go start with states like Lagos and di South West first, plus places like Abuja too. Dem don also prepare CNG-powered trucks for di job. Na 4,000 of dem dey on ground, and di remaining go soon land from China. Imagine transport wey dey function like Gokada! E go shock you now as we dey deal with fuel wahala.
From all these updates, we dey see say Dangote na person wey get big plans for di future of petrol distribution for Nigeria. No be just about dem money as dem dey try change di game. But we go still dey watch as politic and contracts dey play around di industry. Chai! Dis na Nigeria, where every small thing fit turn wahala.
