  • “The price change of N940 applies to customers buying five million litres and above from the refinery, while the price of N970 is for customers buying one million litres and above.” 

Speaking on the development, the head of communications at Dangote refinery stated that the company already has a strategic partnership with MRS Oil with which members of the public can buy diesel at N1,050 per litre and aviation fuel at N980/litre across the country.  

He said that such partnership would be extended to other petroleum marketers across the country.
