The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has suspended the sale of petrol in naira

[Augusta]

The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has suspended the sale of petrol in naira, a decision that has unsettled fuel marketers and raised fresh fears of upward pressure on pump prices as well as volatility in Nigeria’s foreign exchange market.

In a notice sent to customers at 6:42 pm on Friday, September 26, the refinery announced that the suspension will take effect from Sunday, September 28, 2025. The communication explained that the decision was driven by the exhaustion of its crude-for-naira allocation, a mechanism that had previously allowed the refinery to sell refined products in the local currency.


The email, signed by the Group Commercial Operations of Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals and titled “Suspension of DPRP PMS Naira Sales – Effective 28th September 2025,” instructed customers with pending naira-based transactions to request refunds.

As at now, the union of petroleum workers have shut down supply of crude oil to the Dangote refinery. That Dangote of a person doesn't know how to stay competitive.
