Dangote Refinery Halts Naira Petrol Sales Amid Controversy

Dangote Refinery has suspended Naira petrol sales starting September 28, 2025, due to an allocation exhaustion issue. The decision, communicated via email, affects ongoing transactions, with customers advised to request refunds.

The refinery's Group Commercial Operations cited the suspension, amidst controversy following the recent sacking of 800 Nigerian workers. The refinery's labor union has vowed to resist what they describe as an unjust and insensitive corporate decision.

The situation may lead to nationwide solidarity actions if not addressed promptly.
