Dangote Refinery Resumes Loading Of The Product To Members: Fuel Price Drops
Petroleum products marketers in Nigeria say the price of premium motor spirit, known as petrol, would drop in coming days as Dangote Refinery resumes loading of the product to members.
The president of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, Abubakar Maigandi, disclosed this to DAILY POST in an interview on Monday.
Maigandi confirmed to DAILY POST that its members have begun loading petrol at the 650,000-barrel-per-day refinery.
According to him, the development would ease the fuel supply shortage nationwide.
He noted that availability of fuel among its members would certainly reduce the price of petrol.
“Our members have started loading at the Dangote Refinery at N877 per litre, up from N820.
“We are expecting that with the availability of the product, the price would drop a little bit. I can’t say how much a drop is expected, but there would be a reduction in price,” he told DAILY POST.
Similarly, the National President of the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria, Billy Gillis-Harry, hinted that the availability of fuel would push the price down and bring relief to Nigerians.
“Whenever there are enough petrol products from Dangote Refinery or the Depot and the Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria, the country should be wet enough to guarantee affordability,” he told DAILY POST.
Checks by DAILY POST showed that MRS filling, Emedeb, Optima, Bova and other filling stations have resumed dispensing fuel.
DAILY POST reports that in the past two weeks, petrol price increased to between N940 and N965 per litre in parts of Abuja.
Stakeholders within the country’s oil and gas sector had attributed the fuel price hike to a supply glitch in the Dangote Refinery.
Last week, the Vice President of Dangote Industries, Devakumar Edwin, said over 310 million litres of premium motor spirit (petrol) have been billed for loading at the Dangote Refinery plant.
DAILY POST reports that Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and other Nigerian filling stations had increased petrol prices up from between N905 and N910 per litre to N940 to N965 per litre.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
