Dangote Increases Diesel Price to N1,800 per Litre

On October 10, 2026, Dangote and other marketers increased the price of diesel, officially known as Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), from N1,700 to N1,800 per litre. This adjustment represents a 5.88% rise in the price set by the refinery.

The notice regarding this change was issued by the refinery's Group Commercial Operations and communicated to customers. Customers were advised to return all Automated Truck Call-ups (ATCs) for repricing, and new volume contracts would be issued to facilitate loading under the revised pricing structure.

The impact of this price change will depend on various factors, including procurement costs and market conditions. Prices among different suppliers varied, with Dangote's depot price at N1,720 per litre and others, such as Chipet and Ibachem, also listing diesel at N1,800 per litre.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) has extended its discount at retail stations until October 31, 2026, as part of an initiative to provide relief amid rising global crude oil prices.
