Dangote Refinery has now fixed the ex-depot price of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) at $0.779 per litre.
Their new pricing template has also raised the benchmark prices for diesel and aviation fuel, following its transition to dollar-denominated transactions.
This development marks the end to naira payments for the purchase of refined products, which started after the October 1, 2024.
It also means a major shift in the refinery’s commercial operations and could reshape pricing dynamics in Nigeria’s deregulated downstream petroleum sector, where Dangote has emerged as the country’s largest supplier of refined petroleum products.
The revised prices, which took effect on Monday, place Automotive Gas Oil (diesel) at $1.087 per litre, Aviation Turbine Kerosene at $0.942 per litre, while coastal deliveries of petrol were fixed at $1,044.62 per metric tonne.
The refinery disclosed the new rates in a notice issued to petroleum marketers and customers, stating that all previously issued naira-denominated Proforma Invoices and Deal Recaps for gantry and coastal transactions had become invalid.
The notice, signed by the refinery’s Group Commercial Operations, read, “Following our email on the 9th of July, 2026, regarding the transition from Naira to United States Dollars, please note that all issued Naira Coastal and Gantry PFIs/Deal Recaps are now invalid, and no payments should be made against them.
