Shehu Sani Criticizes Dangote Refinery for Prices Hike Instead of a Reduce
Former Kaduna Central Senator Shehu Sani has expressed his surprise and disappointment over the recent fuel price hike announced by Dangote Refinery.
In a post on X on Saturday, Sani voiced what many Nigerians were thinking, as they had hoped that the refinery would lower fuel prices rather than increase them.
“The expectation was that Dangote Refinery would bring down the price of petrol; the news of an increase is baffling,” Sani wrote.
On Friday, Dangote Petroleum Refinery confirmed the price hike, announcing that the new cost of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) would be N955 per litre at the loading gantry.
This adjustment affects marketers purchasing between 2 million and 4.99 million litres, while those buying 5 million litres or more will pay N950 per litre.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
