Independent marketers have lifted and distributed over 25 million litres of Automotive Gas Oil, popularly called diesel, produced by the Dangote Petroleum Refinery in less than three months after the plant started releasing AGO to the market. “I can also confirm that independent marketers have loaded over 25 million litres of diesel since the refinery started the domestic sale of diesel to downstream oil sector operators in Nigeria,” Ukadike stated. On April 2, 2024, oil marketers revealed that the Dangote refinery had commenced the sale of diesel to the domestic market. “The price of diesel is going to fall because of the release of products from Dangote Refinery. This is because since Dangote diesel came into the market the price of diesel has not crossed the N1,200/litre mark.
