Iran-US-Israel war Drives Dangote Refinery’s PMS to N874
Several depot owners suspended PMS sales because of the crude rally. The market is already factoring in risk premiums. Nobody wants to sell below replacement cost,” a downstream operator was quoted as saying.
Dangote Petroleum Refinery has reviewed the price of its Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) gantry price by N100, bringing the ex-depot rate to N874 per litre from the previous N774, as international crude oil prices surged past $80 per barrel due to the ongoing U.S – Israeli war against Iran.
A senior refinery official who confirmed the adjustment on Monday, said that the price has been reviewed.
” The new gantry price is now N874 per litre, up from N774. The revision became necessary due to changes in global crude fundamentals and replacement costs,” the official said.
Checks on petroleumprice.ng indicate that the new pricing has already been implemented, signaling a shift in downstream benchmarks that will likely affect petrol retail prices across the country.
The price hike followed the refinery’s suspension of petrol loading operations, effective midnight on March 2, 2026.
Industry data showed that PMS loading and issuance of proforma invoices were temporarily halted, although the suspension applied only to petrol, while Automotive Gas Oil (diesel) continued to load uninterrupted.
The refinery’s move triggered a ripple effect across Nigeria’s downstream sector, with several private depot owners halting petrol sales during the trading day.

Iran said it is waiting for a definitive US response to its seven-day proposal to reopen the strait and other demands, adding that it will not ease its conditions after Trump rejected Tehran’s latest plan.
Brent crude climbed above $106 per barrel on Monday, recovering losses from the previous session after President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s latest proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, raising concerns that the restoration of oil flows through the critical waterway could face further delays.
Trump also said Tehran had overplayed its hand and expects negotiations to resume this week.
