The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has halted the sale of petrol in naira, effective Sunday, September 28, 2025.
In a notice to customers, the company said it had exceeded its crude-for-naira allocation and could no longer sustain local currency transactions. Customers with pending payments were advised to request refunds.

The move has sparked concerns of renewed pressure on fuel prices and forex, with labour unions warning of possible nationwide action amid allegations of mass layoffs at the refinery—claims management has denied.
