Lagostrend report that the trucks loading Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from the Dangote Refinery and Pinnacle Depot axis in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos, are listed to incur N85,500 in loading-related expenses from September 2026, according to a fee schedule obtained by Petroleumprice.ng.

The document, titled “PTD-NUPENG Loading Expenses – Ibejuji Lekki,” lists the total as N85,500, comprising N65,500 in union expenses, N10,000 for e-call-up and N10,000 under management/manager charges.

The largest listed component is a N49,000 Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD) levy, with a handwritten notation on the document reading “MAY/COMMUNITY.” Other union-related charges include N4,500 for security and development, N4,000 for V.I.O, N4,000 for taskforce, N2,000 for Ijebu Ode and N2,000 for truck park.

The management-related section lists N1,000 for DPR, N1,000 for safety, N1,000 for gantry, N500 for waybill, N500 for road safety, N1,000 for fan slip and N5,000 for truck representative services.

The schedule states that the charges apply to the PMS loading axis covering the Dangote Refinery and Pinnacle Depot.

It also carries the names of Comrade Olujide/Solomon Kilanko, identified as NUPENG National Executive; Bashorun Akanni Oyewole, identified as IPMAN Chairman, Southwest; Comrade Alhaji Adigun Gbolahan S., identified as PTD Lagos Zonal Chairman; and Alhaji Dele Tajudeen Lamidi, identified as former IPMAN Chair, Southwest.

The N85,500 listed in the document represents loading-related expenses and does not include the cost of the PMS itself. The document does not state the volume of PMS to which the charges apply, making it impossible to determine the additional cost per litre from the information provided.

The document also does not specify the legal or administrative basis for each individual charge or indicate whether all the listed payments are mandatory.

The schedule lists the charges as costs associated with tanker loading on the Ibeju-Lekki axis, separate from the refinery’s PMS gantry price and other costs associated with transporting and distributing the product.
