WorldStage– Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has mobilised truck drivers to block Dangote Refinery’s gate with their trucks following breakdown of negotiation between them, particulally over Dangote refinery refusal for its workers to join their association.
However, Dangote is reportedly mobilising towing vehicles to remove the trucks, while NUPENG vowed to bring in more trucks.
Meanwhile, Dangote Group has announced that its Dangote Petroleum Refinery will commence direct supply of petrol (PMS) to 11 states starting Monday, September 15, 2025.
The disclosure was contained in a press release issued via the Group’s official X account on Thursday.
Retail pump prices for the initial states are N841 per litre for Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Osun, and Ekiti, and N851 per litre for Abuja, Delta, Rivers, Edo, and Kwara.
The gantry price is pegged at N820 per litre.
“Dangote Petroleum Refinery begins direct supply of PMS with free delivery effective Monday September 15, 2025
“New Gantry Price is set at N820,” the statement read in part.
To support petrol station operators, the refinery will provide free delivery of PMS to registered stations in the 12 states, with plans to gradually expand distribution nationwide. All station owners are invited to register to access these benefits.
The move is expected to improve petrol distribution and supply consistency across the covered states.
