Amid ongoing debates over the pricing template for petrol, former senator Shehu Sani has drawn an intriguing comparison between Dangote Refinery and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).

Sani remarked that many Nigerians initially saw the relationship between the two as reminiscent of the biblical brothers Cain and Abel, where one would represent good and the other, evil.

However, he suggested that the reality has proven otherwise, with both entities resembling “Cain.”

Taking to social media platform X, Sani posted, “Most people thought that Dangote and NNPC are like Cain and Abel.

Now they found out that they are Cain Junior and Cain Senior,” implying that neither company is living up to the positive expectations of Nigerians.

This reaction comes in the wake of the NNPC’s recent release of estimated petrol prices for September 2024.

According to the state-run oil company, it is purchasing petrol from Dangote Refinery in U.S. dollars, which has significantly influenced the retail price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) across Nigeria.

The NNPC stated that the petrol purchased from the Dangote Refinery gantry was bought at N898.78 per litre.

With logistics costs factored in, the price of petrol in Lagos will reach an estimated N950.22 per litre.

In cities such as Abuja, Sokoto, and Kano, prices are expected to be around N999.22 per litre.

Other regions are also grappling with high pump prices. In states like Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, and Imo, fuel is estimated to be sold at N980 per litre.

The highest recorded price is in Borno State, where the cost of petrol is expected to soar to N1,019.22 per litre.

The rising cost of petrol has sparked widespread frustration among Nigerians, who had hoped that the opening of the Dangote Refinery would help stabilize prices.

Many had anticipated that Dangote and NNPCL would work together to alleviate the economic burden on citizens, but the continued rise in fuel prices has led to disillusionment.

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) says it will announce a new, lower petrol price on Monday, following the recent price slash by Dangote Refinery. Dangote Refinery had dropped its ex-depot price for petrol from N840 to N820 per litre on Thursday, prompting IPMAN to consider adjusting its rates in response.

Speaking on the development, IPMAN President, Abubakar Maigandi, said the association is aligning with the move and will meet to finalize a fresh price cut for petrol. “Our members will also reduce their prices,” Maigandi said. “We’ll make an official announcement on the new fuel price after our meeting on Monday.”

As of Friday, filling stations across Abuja were selling petrol at varying prices, between N905 and N945 per litre. While NNPC, NIPCO, AA Rano, and Shema outlets were dispensing around N910, Dangote-linked stations like AP and Ardova offered it slightly lower at N905. Others, including Ranoil, Empire Energy, and Total Emadeb, were selling at the higher end, up to N945.
