Dangote Refinery Challenges Marketers Over Subsidy Demands

Dangote Petroleum Refinery challenged the Depot Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN) to go to court over alleged N1.5 trillion subsidy demands. The refinery accused DAPPMAN of seeking subsidies to match its gantry prices, leading to additional costs for consumers.

DAPPMAN denied claims of fuel pricing attacks and strike sponsorship. The dispute arose from the refinery's refusal to absorb extra costs for coastal logistics delivery.

The situation highlighted the ongoing tensions between oil marketers and refineries in Nigeria's petroleum industry.
