Dangote Refinery Resumes Petrol Sales In Naira Despite PENGASSAN’s Threat to Halt Crude, Gas Supply
Dangote Refinery has announced the resumption of petrol sales in Naira, citing the depletion of its crude-for-Naira allocations, the refinery had earlier suspended petrol sales in Naira.
In a notice to customers sent over the weekend, the refinery has announced that the suspension would take effect from Sunday, September 28, 2025. It blamed the development on the depletion of its crude-for-naira allocation.
The refinery urged customers with pending naira-based transactions to seek refunds.
However, in a fresh statement, the refinery on Saturday announced the resumption of petrol sales in Naira.
“Following the intervention of the Naira for Crude Transaction Committee Chairman, we are pleased to inform you of the resumption of PMS Sales in Naira commencing immediately.
“You may kindly proceed to place your orders in Naira for both self-collection and free delivery of PMS to the earlier advised locations across the country,” it said.
The company explained that the temporary suspension of Naira-denominated petrol sales, announced on Friday and initially scheduled to take effect from Sunday, 28 September, has been lifted.
It urged customers to disregard the earlier suspension notice, assuring that sales would continue without interruption to guarantee an affordable petrol supply for Nigerians.
Dangote Petroleum Refinery also warned that the recent directive issued by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) to cut crude oil and gas supplies to the refinery could plunge Nigerians into fresh rounds of fuel scarcity while inflicting huge revenue losses on the government.
The senior oil workers’ union on Saturday directed its members to immediately cease gas and crude oil supplies to the refinery, in a reaction to the alleged sack of workers by the management last Thursday.
