Dangote Refinery Reduces Jet Fuel Price

The refinery said the cut will ease airline fuel costs and support operations, while a 30-day credit facility and naira pricing also take effect.

  • On Tuesday, the Dangote Petroleum Refinery reduced aviation fuel prices from N1,750 to N1,650 per litre, aiming to ease pressure on airline operators and ensure stable fuel supply across Nigeria.
  • Domestic carriers have faced rising operational costs, with aviation fuel accounting for a significant portion of expenses; Airline Operators previously warned that price spikes exceeding N2,500 per litre threatened flight sustainability across Nigeria.
  • Beyond the price cut, the refinery introduced a 30-day interest-free credit facility for Airline Operators backed by bank guarantees and transitioned from dollar-denominated to naira-based pricing.
  • This intervention is expected to lower fuel procurement costs and improve operational stability for Airline Operators, supporting efforts to moderate airfares amid industry-wide disruptions.
  • Meanwhile, the Federal Government continues stabilizing the aviation fuel market through the naira-for-crude initiative, addressing persistent supply and pricing challenges that have historically constrained the sector.
