PetroM Weekly Pulse #001: Major Price Relief Hits the Market
Date: March 29, 2026
The much-anticipated relief has finally arrived for fuel retailers across Nigeria.
This week, Dangote Refinery made a bold move by slashing its gantry price to ₦1,200 per litre, triggering a nationwide cooling of pump prices after weeks of steady escalation driven by Middle East tensions and high crude prices.
Executive Summary
Market Sentiment: BEARISH (Relief Rally)
Dangote’s strategic 6.6% price cut has created a temporary window of margin stability for retailers. Pump prices are expected to drop by ₦50 to ₦70 per litre in the coming days as marketers adjust to the new lower template.
Global crude eased to $107/bbl while the Naira held steady around ₦1,380/$, preventing what many feared could have been a spiral toward ₦2,000/litre at the pump.
