Price Surge at Dangote Refinery: Petrol Now Selling for N865/Litre Amid Rising Refining Costs

Share This News On...

Dangote Refinery has raised the price of petrol to N865 per liter, marking a N50 increase from its previous rate of N815. This change follows the suspension of the Naira-for-crude deal with the federal government.

Oil marketers, including MRS, have already begun lifting petrol from the refinery, which boasts a production capacity of 650,000 barrels per day. Despite a recent dip in crude oil prices to $59 per barrel, the costs of refining remain high, largely due to the rising expenses involved in importing crude oil in dollars.
