Dangote refinery has informed marketers and its customers of a downward review of its ex-gantry loading cost to N865 per litre.

The new price is a reduction of N15 from N880 per litre sold by the facility on Wednesday.

Our correspondent gathered that the refinery informed its customers in a notice sent out on Thursday morning.

A Pro forma invoice was sighted by our correspondent and checks into petroleumprice.ng also confirmed the development.

Recall that marketers had exclusively informed our correspondent that the 650,000 barrels refinery was anticipated to lower its petrol loading costs by the end of this week, further contributing to the reduction in fuel prices.

The National Publicity Secretary of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, Chinedu Ukadike, reassured the public of the price drop while commenting on the Federal Executive Council’s directive regarding the naira-for-crude agreement.

On Wednesday, the Federal Executive Council, after an initial delay, directed the full implementation of the suspended Naira-for-Crude agreement with local refiners.

It said the initiative with local refineries is not a temporary measure but a “key policy directive designed to support sustainable local refining.”

The Ministry of Finance disclosed this in a statement published on its official X handle titled, “Update on the Crude and Refined Product Sales in Naira Initiative.” The statement was released following a meeting on Tuesday between the Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, and representatives from Dangote Refinery, a major beneficiary of the agreement, to review progress and address ongoing implementation matters.

The committee said the policy is not temporary but a long-term plan to cut Nigeria’s dependence on foreign exchange for petroleum.

It added that the initiative is not a temporary or time-bound intervention but a key policy directive designed to support sustainable local refining and bolster energy security.

The statement read, “The Technical Sub-Committee on the Crude and Refined Product Sales in Naira initiative convened an update meeting on Tuesday to review progress and address ongoing implementation matters.

“The stakeholders reaffirmed the government’s continued commitment to the full implementation of this strategic initiative, as directed by the Federal Executive Council.

“Thus, the Crude and Refined Product Sales in Naira initiative is not a temporary or time-bound intervention, but a key policy directive designed to support sustainable local refining, bolster energy security, and reduce reliance on foreign exchange in the domestic petroleum market.”

Maitama demolition begins as Wike orders removal of buildings on waterways

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has commenced the demolition of buildings obstructing designated waterways in Maitama, Abuja, following recent flooding in parts of the capital.   The exercise began on Tuesday, August 18, after FCT Minister Nyesom Wike inspected areas affected by flooding and directed the FCT Department of Development Control to immediately remove structures built on or blocking water channels. Wike said the demolition would continue until Saturday, warning that no property owner would be exempted because of political influence or social status. “Some of them are senators. Some of them are big men,” Wike said while announcing the enforcement action. The minister said buildings found on designated water channels would be pulled down as part of efforts to restore drainage routes and reduce the risk of further flooding across the Federal Capital Territory. The demolition in Maitama marks the start of the enforcement exercise, with the FCTA expected to extend the operation to other areas where structures are found to be obstructing waterways. The move follows renewed concerns over flooding in Abuja after heavy rainfall affected Maitama and other parts of the city.
