DPR Promises To Regulate Fuel Prices
The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Port Harcourt Zonal office has urged all filling station operators to sell petrol (premium motor spirit) at the government regulated price of N145 per litre or quit the business.
The Head, Down Stream of DPR in Port Harcourt, Emmanuel Ewocha, gave the charge during a surveillance exercise in Oyigbo and Tai Local Government Areas of Rivers State.
He said that the DPR would not hesitate to sanction any filling station that sells above the regulated pump price, noting that such practices amounted to illegality.
“PMS is a regulated product and any contravention to government regulation is an illegality.
“The Federal Government has not increased the pump price of PMS and the filling station owners must abide by the regulated price, they can’t sell because they want to remain in business, we in DPR cannot close our eyes to see these irregularities being carried out”, he warned.
Ewocha said that the activities of those who insist on cutting corners was responsible for the seeming persistence of fuel scarcity in the society.
It could be recalled that, some motorists in Rivers State had last week protested what they considered as persistent fuel scarcity in the state.

Dangote Refinery Resumes Gantry Self-Collection Sales, Tuesday
This is revealed in an email communication from the Group Commercial Operations Department of the company, and obtained by Newsmen, at the Weekend.
The company explained that while gantry access is being reinstated, the free delivery service remains operational, with marketers encouraged to continue registering their outlets for direct supply at no additional cost.
The statement said “in reference to the earlier email communication on the suspension of the PMS self-collection gantry sales, please note that we will be resuming the self-collection gantry sales on the 23rd of September, 2025”.
Dangote Petroleum Refinery also apologised to its partners for any inconvenience the suspension may have caused, while assuring stakeholders of its commitment to improving efficiency and ensuring seamless supply.
“Meanwhile, please be informed that we are aggressively delivering on the free delivery scheme, and it is still open for registration. We encourage you to register your stations and pay for the product to be delivered directly to you for free. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding,” it added.
It would be recalled that in September 18, 2025, Dangote refinery had suspended gantry-based self-collection of petroleum products at its depot. The move was designed to accelerate the adoption of its Free Delivery Scheme, which guarantees direct shipments of petroleum products to registered retail outlets across Nigeria.
The refinery stressed that the earlier decision was an operational adjustment aimed at streamlining efficiency in the downstream supply chain.
