Dangote Refinery and Petroleum Products Marketers have shifted the blame for the recent premium motor spirit price hike to global crude oil prices as Nigerians lament its impact.
This comes as Nigerians express concerns over the effects of the latest fuel price hike.
Kpakpando reports that on Friday, Nigerians woke up to a fresh PMS price nationwide.
Accordingly, the $20 billion Dangote Refinery raised its ex-depot prices from N899.50 per litre to N950 per litre, representing a N50 or 5 percent price hike.
Thereafter, the retail price of petrol rose to between N970 and N1,150 from N935 and N1,100 per litre.
Particularly, in filling stations with direct petrol sale partnerships with Dangote Refinery, such as MRS filling stations, PMS is sold at N970 per litre, up from N935.
Reacting to the latest price hike, Dangote Refinery, in a statement by its spokesperson, Anthony Chijiena, explained that it is due to a significant surge in the global prices of crude.
