The price war in Nigeria’s petroleum sector has deepened, with several filling stations now selling Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) below the N739 per litre benchmark set by the Dangote Petroleum Refinery.

The move comes amid intense competition among marketers seeking to retain customers and remain viable in a market affected by rising costs.

Why new petrol price in Nigeria

The price adjustments follow the Dangote refinery’s decision in December 2025 to slash its gantry price from N828 to N699 per litre.

While the reduction was aimed at making locally refined petrol more accessible, it forced importers and depot owners to recalibrate their retail prices.

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has explained that demand now largely dictates retail pricing, with patronage favoring stations offering the most competitive rates.

According to the association, marketers who refuse to adjust their prices risk losing clients as interest charges and operational costs accumulate.

Dangote direct fuel supply

The Dangote refinery has also expanded its distribution framework to include small and medium-sized operators, bulk consumers, and filling stations across Nigeria.

Supply volumes have increased from 600 million litres in October 2025 to 1.5 billion litres in December, with daily gantry loadings ranging between 31 million and 48 million litres.

The refinery also reduced minimum purchase volumes from 2 million litres to 250,000 litres and introduced a 10-day credit facility backed by bank guarantees to improve market accessibility.

Diesel prices crash

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Diesel prices in Nigerian depots are getting closer to N900 per litre following an influx of supply, weak demand, and serious price-matching competition between private depot owners and the Dangote Refinery.

From the high of over N1,100 in March 2025, diesel now trades between N911 and N955.

There are higher expectations from observers that prices may fall further as the market remains oversupplied following the influx of diesel vessels and the ramp-up in diesel production from the Dangote Refinery.
