The Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) has confirmed that its leadership successfully negotiated terms with the Dangote Refinery, allowing its members to directly source petroleum products from the refinery for distribution across the nation.

Joseph Obele, the National Public Relations Officer for PETROAN, shared details of this breakthrough, highlighting that the negotiations were spearheaded by the association’ s president, Dr. Billy Gillis- Harry.

Although the precise terms of the agreement remain confidential, PETROAN has reassured the public that the deal is designed to prioritize the interests of consumers by enhancing the availability and affordability of petroleum products.

The positive effects of this agreement are already evident, as many filling stations have begun to adjust their fuel prices downward.

For instance, in Ikotun, the price at the pump fell by N50, reducing the cost of a liter of petrol from N1, 100 to N1, 050. Similar reports of price reductions have emerged from other regions across the country.

In addition, the Dangote Refinery has responded to market demands by lowering its wholesale petrol price, allowing marketers to purchase petrol at N970 per liter, compared to the previous price of N990.

This effort to enhance fuel accessibility has garnered appreciation from both consumers and marketers, particularly during a period characterized by increased travel and economic activity.

This agreement marks a significant advancement toward reducing Nigeria’ s reliance on imported fuel while simultaneously enhancing local distribution networks. By providing direct access to petroleum products, the partnership has the potential to improve market stability, lower costs, and prevent interruptions in fuel supply.

Furthermore, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is also taking measures to address energy challenges in various aspects, including initiatives aimed at reducing cooking gas prices. These combined efforts reflect a broader strategy designed to alleviate financial burdens on Nigerian households and businesses. The collaboration between the Dangote Refinery and petroleum marketers heralds a new era of efficiency and competitiveness within Nigeria’ s energy sector.

As the festive season draws near, this agreement promises to secure a steady fuel supply that meets the demands of consumers nationwide. If this partnership is sustained, it could establish a foundation for a more resilient and consumer- friendly petroleum market in the future.

With the prospect of reduced prices and enhanced access to petrol, Nigerians can anticipate a more stable energy environment, even during times of heightened demand.
