The Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited has suspended self-collection gantry sales of petroleum products at its facility, effective September 18, 2025.
The company said the decision was taken to boost efficiency and promote wider adoption of its Free Delivery Scheme, which ensures direct shipments to retail outlets.
In a notice from its Group Commercial Operations Department, the refinery stated: “Effective 18th September 2025, Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE has placed all self-collection gantry sales on hold until further notice.”
It urged marketers to register under the delivery scheme, describing it as seamless and reliable, while apologising for any inconvenience the suspension might cause.
The move comes amid a dispute involving the refinery, the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, and the Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria.
While marketers have argued that the policy forces them to rely on Dangote’s transport fleet at commercial rates, the refinery insists the scheme is designed to stabilise supply, cut costs, and protect its operations from what it described as “misleading reports,” including the marketers’ ₦1.505 trillion subsidy demand.
