The Dangote Refinery has officially restarted the sale of petrol priced in naira, according to a memo distributed to marketers on Saturday, September 27, 2025. This development follows the decisive involvement of the naira-for-crude technical committee.
The refinery statement reads:
Following the intervention of the Naira for Crude Technical Committee Chairman, we are pleased to inform you of the resumption of PMS sales in Naira commencing immediately. You may kindly proceed to place your orders in naira for both self-collection and free delivery of PMS to the earlier advised locations across the country. Thank you for your continued patronage
This announcement contrasts with Dawn Herald’s earlier report issued on Friday, when the refinery declared a halt in petrol sales denominated in naira effective Sunday, September 28, 2025. The suspension was attributed to the depletion of its crude-for-naira allotment.The earlier notice stated,
We write to inform you that Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals has been selling petroleum products in excess of our naira-crude allocations, and, consequently, we are unable to sustain PMS sales in naira going forward. Kindly note that this suspension of Naira sales for PMS will be effective from Sunday, 28th of September, 2025. We will provide further updates regarding the resumption of supply once the situation has been resolved
The refinery has now resumed its pricing scheme in local currency, which offers relief to marketers and consumers depending on stable fuel supplies.
