An official at the refinery confirmed the price reduction from ₦867 to ₦835 per litre to Channels Television. The official also said the refinery would release a statement.
Checks into petroleumprice.ng also confirmed that the private refinery reduced its gantry price to ₦835 on Wednesday afternoon.
The price reduction by the private refinery followed a meeting between representatives of the Dangote Refinery and the Minister of Finance Wale Edun last week.
