“Some People Want To Stop Dangote Refinery From Selling” – Adeboye

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, recently shared his concerns about a purported conspiracy involving an oil cabal in Nigeria, working in collusion with international oil companies (IOCs) to undermine the operations of private refineries, particularly the Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
Speaking at the November 2024 Abuja Special Holy Ghost service, Adeboye called on Nigerians to pray for divine intervention,
He believes that these unscrupulous oil marketers are intentionally working to create difficulties for the public, especially in light of their efforts to hinder the operations of the Dangote refinery.
Adeboye pointed out that Dangote’s refinery came as a response to the failure of the public refineries and the ongoing struggle Nigeria faces in trying to refine its own crude oil.
Despite being one of the world’s largest oil producers, Nigeria continues to rely heavily on importing refined petrol, a situation that has sparked frustration and concern among citizens.
“Are we under a curse?” Adeboye questioned, highlighting the irony that the country with vast oil reserves struggles to refine its own products.
He further praised Dangote for his determination to help alleviate the suffering of Nigerians.
“He is not my relative, not even from my village, and not a Christian. But as a Nigerian, he saw the suffering of the people and decided to build a refinery that could work,” Adeboye remarked.
In a positive development for Dangote Refinery, the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has reached an agreement to buy petrol directly from the refinery, bypassing the usual importation channels.
However, Nigerians are still facing high fuel prices, with petrol being sold for as much as N1060 to N1200 at various NNPC stations and other retail outlets across the country, leaving many questioning when the country will truly see the benefits of its oil wealth.

Middlemen Are Keeping Petrol Prices High in Nigeria — CORAN Says

The Crude Oil Refinery Owners Association of Nigeria (CORAN) has shed light on why Nigerians are still paying high prices for petrol, even though global crude oil prices have dropped sharply.
According to CORAN, the main reasons behind the high cost of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) include the recent halt of the Naira-for-crude arrangement, the activities of profit-driven middlemen, and the rising exchange rate of the dollar.
Speaking on the matter, CORAN’s spokesperson, Eche Idoko, pointed out that these factors have made it difficult for Nigerians to enjoy any real relief at the pump. Crude oil prices recently dropped to around $64 per barrel for Brent and roughly $59.7 for WTI. This decline followed a new round of tariffs and a surprise production cut announcement by OPEC+.
Despite the global price drop, local fuel prices in Nigeria continue to rise. Idoko explained that middlemen are playing a big role in keeping prices up and preventing local refining from thriving. He also mentioned that the cost of importing refined products, logistics, and foreign exchange challenges all add up to push petrol prices even higher.
At the moment, petrol prices in Nigeria range from N900 to N975 per litre depending on the area. This increase came shortly after several major players in the industry, including partners of the Dangote Refinery and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), raised their pump prices.

MRS Increases Petrol Price to N950 in Abuja and N930 in Lagos

MRS filling stations, a partner of Dangote Refinery, have raised petrol prices to N930 per litre in Lagos and N950 per litre in Abuja.
On Saturday, the MRS station along Kubwa Expressway in Abuja was already selling at the new rate, marking an increase of N70 to N80 per litre from the previous prices of N860 and N880.
A motorist in Abuja reacted to the price hike, saying it was expected after Dangote Refinery announced that it had stopped selling petrol in Naira.
The refinery had revealed on March 19 that it would no longer conduct petrol sales in local currency, a move that has now led to adjustments in pump prices across several stations.
Other filling stations in Abuja have also increased their rates. Empire Filling Station in Gwarimpa, for instance, raised its price to N975 per litre from N945.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) maintained its pump price at N880 per litre in Abuja as of Saturday evening.
