My people, make we gist about wetin dey happen for Dangote Petroleum Refinery matter.
This refinery don come clear say dem get capacity to supply fuel wey dey burst brain! Dem fit supply 75 million litres of petrol every day, and you sabi say na 50 million litres na Nigeria dey consume, abi na wetin dem talk?
And no be only petrol o! Dem dey talk say dem fit supply 25 million litres of diesel every day, wey na more than the 14 million litres wey we dey need now. If you be aviation passenger, reason am this way: dem fit supply 20 million litres of aviation fuel, while we dey need just 4 million litres. Na big gbege be that!
As dem don yan this one, e mean say we go get enough fuel even when everywhere dey hot. Dem dey talk say this supply wey pass demand go help make market no dey shake, and also reduce as we dey depend on fuel wey we dey import from abroad.
For one public announcement wey dem gree release, Dangote Refinery talk say dem go dey deliver better quality fuel to all di marketers and stakeholders. Na wetin dem dey carry give us o: disinfected soy, correct petrol, better diesel, and aviation fuel wey go scatter market!
Dem also talk say dem go follow all di rules wey government set and dey cooperate well-well with di Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority. Dis one mean say dem no wan carry wahala for market.
During dis time wey dem dey try make Nigeria no dey rely on imported fuel, Dangote Refinery don dey work hard with di regulators and industry stakeholders to make sure say energy security no go dey shakey.
But make we yan about di new price matter wey don drop recently. As per wey dem announce, dey increase petrol price from N699 to N799 per litre. You go fit reason say na N70 higher than wetin imported petrol dey cost.
People wey go dey buy fuel for some stations now, dem don raise di price from N739 to N839 or even more! You fit imagine the wahala wey dey for marketers wey don pay previous price? Dem dey ask dem to add N100 again before dem fit load. Na real drama wey dey unfold!
The PUNCH find out say some filling stations wey suppose sell for N799 dem still dey sell for N839. Na so e be, wahala no dey carry last.
All dis kain price alignment na because festive period don finish and every as market dey settle back to normal. Ahh, my people, no forget say Dangote Refinery wan keep di market stable and make everything dey affordable for we!
