The Dangote refinery has informed marketers and its customers of a downward review of its ex-gantry loading cost to N865 per litre.
The new price is a reduction of N15 from N880 per litre sold by the facility on Wednesday.
Our correspondent gathered that the refinery informed its customers in a notice sent out on Thursday morning.
A Pro forma invoice was sighted by our correspondent and checks into petroleumprice.ng also confirmed the development.
Filling stations like MRS Oil & Gas, Ardova Plc, Heyden, and others with special agreements with the Dangote Refinery are expected to reduce their pump price to around N910 from around N925 to reflect the marginal reduction in the ex-depot price of the premium commodity.
The price reduction by the private refinery followed a meeting between representatives of the Dangote Refinery and the Minister of Finance Wale Edun on Tuesday.
At the end of the meeting, the government said that the naira-for-crude was still in effect and that the initiative was not a temporary measure but a “key policy directive designed to support sustainable local refining”.
The government also said the initiative is still in effect and will continue indefinitely.
