Tension arose in Nigeria's petroleum market as the Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN) opposed Dangote Refinery's plan to slash petrol prices. DAPPMAN criticized the refinery's price reduction, alleging it could disrupt the market and disadvantage local businesses.

The disagreement highlighted ongoing challenges in the sector, with concerns raised about fair competition and market stability. The Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) also expressed apprehension over the situation, warning of potential crises if the pricing dispute escalated.
