The domestic energy market is maintaining steady operational parameters as market participants align their supply chains with the latest global and localized pricing templates. According to the official weekly brief released by the Major Energies Marketers Association of Nigeria (MEMAN) on Thursday, July 16, 2026, major products show interesting price variations.
Dangote Refinery Diesel Price and Gantry Tariffs
The updated MEMAN data confirms that the dangote refinery diesel price at the gantry remains fixed at N1,500 per litre. This factory-gate rate sits structurally higher than the estimated imported diesel landing cost, which is currently calculated at N1,328.78 per litre.
Similarly, Aviation Turbine Kerosene (ATK / Jet Fuel) is priced at N1,300 per litre at the local refinery gantry, which also sits slightly above the imported alternative landing parity of N1,299.71 per litre.
Cooking Gas Price Today and LPG Gantry Rates
For household energy and commercial distribution tracking, the cooking gas price today remains a major focus. The MEMAN bulletin indicates that Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) at the local refinery gantry holds firm at an established rate of N925,000 per metric tonne.
However, when compared to the imported LPG landing cost of N906,897.64 per metric tonne, the local refinery price exhibits a slight premium of approximately N18,102 per metric tonne.
PMS Import Landing Cost and Brent Crude Benchmarks
On the petrol side, the estimated import landing cost (landing parity) for Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) is currently tracked at N1,102.75 per litre. This adjustment unfolds against a moderately stable global oil market, with the international benchmark Brent Crude trading at $72 per barrel.
Below is the verified weekly comparative table of petroleum product pricing in Nigeria as of July 16, 2026:
| Petroleum Product | Local Refinery Price (Gantry) | Import Landing Cost (Parity) |
|---|---|---|
| Diesel (AGO) | N1,500.00 / Litre | N1,328.78 / Litre |
| Aviation Fuel (ATK) | N1,300.00 / Litre | N1,299.71 / Litre |
| Cooking Gas (LPG) | N925,000 / Metric Tonne | N906,897.64 / Metric Tonne |
| Petrol (PMS) | Not Listed | N1,102.75 / Litre |
What This Means for Retail Consumers and the Naira
For investors and businesses tracking pricing trends on dollartonaira.com/, the small premium on locally refined products is balanced by the security of supply. By sourcing diesel, jet fuel, and LPG locally, Nigeria is systematically reducing its high dependence on foreign exchange for fuel imports, helping to ease long-term speculative pressure on the Naira in the parallel market.
