Fuel prices have risen significantly, now ranging from N1,310 to N1,345 per litre. This increase follows a hike in gantry and ex-depot petrol prices by Dangote Refinery and depot owners.

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria is seeking government assistance to address this issue.

A deal with Dangote Refinery is being proposed as part of a broader intervention in the petroleum sector to reduce prices nationwide, although details of the proposed intervention are not fully outlined.
