This means that in the last 48 hours, Nigerians have had to spend more to purchase fuel nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>The development comes after filling stations such as Ranoil, AA Rano, Shema, Empire Energy, Optima, and other petroleum product marketers adjusted their fuel pump price at the weekend to between N950 and N971 per litre in Abuja.<\/p>\n<p>Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude futures dropped to $68.70 and $66.24 per barrel as of the time of filing the report.<\/p>\n<p><b>IPMAN, PETROAN give reasons for fuel price increase<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The latest fuel price hike in Nigeria has been blamed on several reasons, including the fall in global crude oil price, the exchange rate, the Dangote Refinery, and the Depot Owners petrol ex-depot price increase.<\/p>\n<p>While the Independent Petroleum Marketers of Nigeria blamed the exchange rate for the latest fuel price hike, the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria blamed Dangote Refinery\u2019s pricing system.<\/p>\n<p>The spokesman of IPMAN and the National President of PETROAN, Chinedu Ukadike and Billy Gillis-Harry, respectively, made these perspectives known in separate interviews on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Ukadike partly attributed the recent fuel price hike to forces of demand and supply in a deregulated downstream oil industry.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the latest price adjustment is not unconnected to price reviews at petrol depots and the Dangote Refinery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFuel prices went up due to forces of demand and supply.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSupplying Depots and Dangote Refinery have increased their ex-depot petrol prices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cost of the Dollar is the reason for the price hike for depot owners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor Dangote Refinery, I can\u2019t say categorically, but it may not be unconnected to the price of crude oil; you know the plant imports the bulk of its crude oil.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs of Friday, Dangote Refinery is N858 per litre, NIPCO (N870), Aiteo (855), and Ranoil (N865),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Gillis-Harry blamed the Dangote Refinery pricing mechanism for the latest fuel price hike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should be looking at proper fuel pricing because what the Dangote Refinery is doing is not proper pricing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
