Dangote Refinery Raises Petrol Price Amid NUPENG Strike Threat

Dangote Refinery has raised the price of petrol from N825 to N840 per litre, as per data from PetroleumPriceNG, amidst looming threats of a strike by the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG). The depot price of petrol surged, triggering concerns about increased costs at filling stations nationwide.

The price hike comes as global crude oil prices experienced a slight decline. NUPENG has expressed discontent over Dangote's alleged plans to exclude CNG trucks from its operations, leading to discussions about a potential nationwide strike.

The situation remains tense as stakeholders monitor developments in the oil and gas sector.
