Dangote Reduces Gas Price From N810 To N760

In a move bring relief to Nigeria’s domestic energy market, the Dangote Petroleum Refinery has reduced the ex-depot price of cooking gas from ₦810 to ₦760 per kilogram, the lowest in the country.

This is coming on the heels of the price of the product going for as much as N2200 per kg in the market across Nigeria

Analysts say the move signals Dangote’s intent to stabilize the LPG market and curb arbitrary price hikes.

This marks the refinery’s second major price cut in less than a month, and it continues to position Dangote as the leading driver of affordability in the gas sector.

Compared to other major suppliers, Dangote’s price stands far lower. Matrix and Ardova depots currently sell at ₦920 per kilogram, while A.Y.M Shafa and NIPCO are at ₦910 per kilogram.

The price gap ranging from ₦150 to ₦190 per kilogram—highlights Dangote’s strong market influence and its growing role in stabilizing Nigeria’s energy prices.

Experts in the petroleum and energy sector have described the refinery’s strategy as a deliberate attempt to reform market dynamics and discourage unnecessary price hikes by other depots.

Many Nigerians have welcomed the development, expressing hope that the reduction will reflect at the retail level, especially in local markets where consumers often face inflated prices.
