Dangote Raises Petrol Price Per Litre Again.

Published

on

The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has raised the price of petrol to ₦1,175 per litre, hours after reducing it, Naija News reports.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The sudden increase prompted depot operators across Nigeria to temporarily halt sales. The refinery had earlier lowered the ex-depot price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) by ₦100 on March 10, 2026, bringing it down from ₦1,175 to ₦1,075 per litre. Depot operators, who had started selling at around ₦1,100 per litre, paused transactions following the price revision.

Loading operations at the refinery have also been temporarily suspended to reconcile stock levels and adjust to the new pricing framework. The move comes amid rising global crude oil prices, with Brent crude climbing from $91 to $100 per barrel, directly affecting refining costs.

Meanwhile, the federal government has stated it will not intervene to regulate petrol prices despite volatility in global markets caused by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

Finance Minister Wale Edun, in an interview with Channels Television, said the government plans to cushion Nigerians from rising energy costs through alternative measures, including expanding the use of compressed natural gas (CNG) for vehicles.

President Bola Tinubu has approved the provision of 100,000 additional CNG conversion kits to help motorists switch from petrol to the more affordable alternative, which costs roughly 25–30% of petrol’s price.

The match began with an immediate impact from Arsenal, as Kai Havertz capitalized on a pass from Leandro Trossard to put the London club ahead within the first six minutes. Arsenal maintained their lead for much of the first half, successfully frustrating the French champions.

The momentum shifted in the 63rd minute when a VAR review resulted in a penalty for PSG. Ousmane Dembélé stepped up to the spot and converted two minutes later, bringing the score level at 1-1. Despite intense efforts from both sides during the remainder of regulation and throughout extra time, neither team could find a winning goal.

The title was ultimately decided by penalties. In the shootout, PSG held their nerve, with Lucas Beraldo converting their final spot-kick. With Arsenal needing to score to force sudden death, defender Gabriel Magalhães sent his effort over the bar, sealing a 4-3 victory for the French side.

This triumph marks a historic achievement for PSG, who become the first French club to win the UEFA Champions League title in two consecutive seasons, having defeated Inter Milan 5-0 in the 2025 final.
