NNPCL and Dangote Refinery Clash Over Petrol Pricing Amidst Rising Controversy

The ongoing NNPCL and Dangote Refinery petrol price dispute has sparked widespread attention, as conflicting claims over the cost of petrol continue to stir controversy. While NNPCL asserts that it purchased fuel at N898 per litre, Dangote Refinery maintains it sold at a lower price, though it has yet to disclose exact figures. This dispute leaves Nigerians questioning the true cost of petrol and the future of fuel pricing in the country.

In this NNPCL and Dangote Refinery petrol price dispute, both parties have presented differing narratives. NNPCL has publicly stated that they paid an international price for the fuel, while Dangote insists their prices are more competitive than imported petrol. The lack of transparency in this matter only deepens the confusion among Nigerians, many of whom had anticipated cheaper fuel from the Dangote Refinery.

Adding to the complexities of the NNPCL and Dangote Refinery petrol price dispute is the fact that NNPCL is currently the sole buyer of petrol from the refinery. With pump prices ranging from N950 in Lagos to over N1,000 in Maiduguri, Nigerians are left wondering when the benefits of the Dangote Refinery’s local production will be fully realized.

The NNPCL and Dangote Refinery petrol price dispute, which centers on whether the fuel sold was at N898 per litre or lower, continues to escalate, as Nigerians remain divided on the true cost and future implications of locally sourced petrol.
