There is hunger in the land. Inflation has made life difficult for many, particularly after the removal of fuel subsidy, which shot the price of petrol to the rooftop. But Nigerians were assured of coming relief as they were told that the price of petrol would reduce drastically when Dangote Refinery starts to function.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo make matters worse, NNPCL made itself the only marketer of Dangote fuel, thereby sandwiching the latter\u2019s product. By taking these two actions, NNPC has effectively taken control of Dangote\u2019s fuel and the real owner cannot determine the price of its product. This is an ambush, a punch below the belt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf NNPC had not increased the price of its own fuel, the decision to monopolise Dangote\u2019s fuel would have favoured the hoi polloi, but by increasing the price and restricting the supply of Dangote\u2019s fuel to itself alone, NNPC has rendered Dangote Refinery helpless.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMURIC finds NNPC\u2019s action to be anti-people, immoral and lacking in conscience. It is an open secret that the prices of most products, particularly food items, are tied to the umbilical cords of petroleum and its price. The latter is the engine room that moves the economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigerians are hungry today because the price of petrol skyrocketed and the prices of foodstuffs rose astronomically and spontaneously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
