Dangote Petroleum Refinery has cited the naira-for-crude arrangement as a key factor behind recent drops in petrol prices, enabling the company to reduce pump costs despite volatile global crude oil prices.
In a statement signed by Anthony Chiejina, Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer on Monday, the refinery reaffirmed its dedication to maintaining stable and affordable petrol prices for Nigerians.
“We are immensely grateful to President Bola Tinubu for making this possible through the commendable naira-for-crude initiative, which has enabled us to consistently reduce the price of petroleum products for the benefit of all Nigerians,” the statement said.
Dangote Refinery explained that maintaining price stability amid global crude price changes reflects its dedication to providing reliable, high-quality petroleum products while ensuring operational efficiency and sustainability.
“Our approach aligns with the objectives of the Federal Government’s ‘Nigeria First Policy’, which promotes the prioritisation of locally-produced goods and services,” the statement added.
The company highlighted its role as the world’s largest single-train refinery, noting that domestic refining supports Nigeria’s energy security, foreign exchange savings, and economic resilience. This aligns with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda aimed at addressing the country’s economic challenges and improving citizens’ welfare.
Dangote Petroleum Refinery affirmed to its stakeholders—comprising consumers, partners, and the government—its unwavering commitment to operational excellence and service to the nation.
