Dangote Refinery Launches Hotline to Sanction MRS Stations Selling PMS Above ₦739


The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has launched a nationwide hotline to enable Nigerians report any MRS Oil Nigeria Plc filling stations selling Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) above the approved pump price of ₦739 per litre.
The initiative, according to the refinery, is aimed at enforcing transparency, protecting consumers, and ensuring that the benefits of its recent price reduction are fully passed on to Nigerians across the country.
In a statement issued on Monday, the refinery announced that the dedicated hotline — 0800 123 5264 — is now active nationwide, allowing motorists to promptly report violations at any of the over 2,000 MRS filling stations.
The move follows Dangote Refinery’s commencement of nationwide PMS sales at ₦739 per litre, which it described as a strategic intervention to stabilise fuel prices and ease the financial burden on Nigerians, particularly during the festive season.
The refinery urged consumers to avoid patronising stations selling above the approved price and to use the hotline to expose erring outlets.
“We encourage Nigerians to avoid purchasing PMS at inflated prices when locally refined fuel is available at ₦739 per litre. Report any MRS station selling above this price by calling our hotline. Together, we can ensure that the benefits of this price reduction reach every consumer,” the statement said.
Dangote Refinery also assured Nigerians of uninterrupted supply, disclosing that it has a guaranteed daily production capacity of 50 million litres, sufficient to meet national demand.
It warned against attempts by unscrupulous operators to create artificial scarcity or manipulate supply in response to the price reduction, describing such actions as unpatriotic and unacceptable.
“Any attempt to create artificial scarcity or manipulate supply to frustrate recent price reductions is unpatriotic and unacceptable. We urge regulatory authorities to remain vigilant and take firm action against such practices, especially during this critical festive period,” the refinery stated.
The company further called on relevant regulatory agencies to intensify monitoring and enforcement to curb sharp practices in the downstream petroleum sector.
According to the refinery, large-scale local refining is already delivering tangible benefits, including reduced dependence on imported fuel, conservation of foreign exchange, stabilisation of the naira, and improved national energy security.
It stressed that Nigerians should resist purchasing fuel at inflated prices when cheaper, high-quality, locally refined PMS is readily available, adding that collective vigilance is key to sustaining fair pricing and supporting economic recovery.

FROM BLACKOUT TO BRIGHT LIGHTS: How Dr. Naheem Balogun Rewrote Epe’s Story

Image
   For more than six years, large parts of Epe were trapped in darkness — not because the people were forgotten, but because leadership failed to act.      Then, change came — not from government power, but from personal responsibility. Before holding any public office, Dr. Naheem Abiodun Balogun, fondly known as Imole Eko, took a bold step that redefined community leadership: he restored light to Epe.       Across all 19 wards, over 534 solar-powered streetlights were installed, turning once-dangerous roads into safe pathways, reviving night trading, and improving community security. For residents, it was not just illumination — it was a return to normal life.       But the transformation did not stop with streetlights. More than 3,000 youths were trained and empowered with practical skills, including solar installation and maintenance. At graduation, they did not leave with certificates alone — they received working to...
