JUST IN: Dangote Refinery Increases Petrol Price as Middle East Tensions Put Upward Pressure on Crude—Dangote Refinery has increased its Premium Motor Spirit gantry price.
The 650,000-barrel-per-day refinery increased its petrol price to N874 per litre, up from N799.

This means that the African’s largest refinery adjusted its petrol price by N75 per litre on Monday.

The spokesperson of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, Chinedu Ukadike, confirmed Dangote Refinery’s price hike to Newsmen exclusively on Monday.

According to him, the move comes amid a hike in global crude oil prices following the Iran-United States-Israel conflict escalation in the past three days.

“It is due to global crude oil price volatility following the Iran-US-Israel war. It is the ripple effect of ongoing conflict,” he told Newsmen.

According to him, the development would trigger a retail fuel price hike nationwide.

The Genius Media Nigeria reports that on Monday, Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude blends rose to $78.50 and $71.84 per barrel, respectively, up from $72.87 and $67.02 on Saturday.

Recall that on January 27, Dangote Refinery had hiked its petrol price by N100 per litre to 799 per liter.

The winning goal came in the 94th minute, scored by Pape Gueye, securing Senegal’s triumph in a match filled with tension and controversy.

The game was briefly overshadowed by an on-field protest from the Senegalese players.

Earlier in the match, a goal by Senegal was disallowed, sparking visible frustration. The situation escalated when the referee awarded a penalty to Morocco, prompting the Senegalese squad to walk off the pitch in protest.

Officials intervened, temporarily halting the match to restore order.

After a tense pause, Senegal returned to the field, and Morocco ultimately missed the penalty, leaving the scoreline unchanged.

Gueye’s strike moments later sealed victory for Senegal.

The final sparked heated debate among fans and pundits, with the disallowed goal and controversial penalty highlighting the intensity and drama of this AFCON showdown.
