Dangote hikes petrol to ₦1,200/litre effective today nationwide
Dangote Petroleum Refinery has increased the gantry price of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) from ₦1,185 to ₦1,200 per litre, effective August 26, 2026. The adjustment was announced in an official customer communication issued on Tuesday by the refinery’s Group Commercial Operations, covering both gantry and coastal deliveries.
The price rise directly affects motorists, transporters, and households that rely on petrol for vehicles and generators, potentially raising transportation costs and household energy expenses. The adjustment may also affect the cost of goods and services that depend on road transport. With the new price taking effect immediately, commuters may see higher fares for commercial vehicles, and businesses could face increased logistics costs.
Consumers can monitor official pump prices, consider fuel‑efficient driving habits, explore car‑pooling or public transport options, and review household budgets to accommodate the uptick. The increase amounts to ₦15 per litre. Will you adjust your travel plans, budget for higher fuel costs, or look into alternative energy sources to mitigate the impact?
