Dangote Refinery Shutdown Causes Petrol Price Surge in Nigeria, Supply Disruption
The Dangote Refinery in Nigeria experienced a temporary shutdown due to a technical fault, leading to a slowdown in petrol supply and subsequent price hikes at filling stations. The refinery's Residue Fluidised Catalytic Cracking Unit (RFCCU) was affected by a catalyst leak, prompting the shutdown for at least two weeks.
This disruption significantly impacted the local fuel market, causing fuel depots to sell petrol at increased rates. Notably, prices surged across various regions, with some stations selling petrol at higher prices than before the refinery shutdown.
The situation highlighted the refinery's crucial role in Nigeria's fuel supply chain and the immediate consequences of its operational challenges.
