https://9ja.news/t5jqNxThis slight changes or reduction in petroleum price does not make any significant impact in the petroleum price, and how it changes cost of transportation in the country. The only active Refinery in Nigeria now remains the Dangote Refinery, and all other refineries are not making any fuel production. At present both port Harcourt Refinery, warri, and Kaduna Refinery are under rehabilitation, and are at the point of partnership with some foreign companies, and until they begin to work in their full capacity fuel sales, and price will still be influenced by Dangote.
The high cost of fuel has been the reason for many economic instabilities because as fuel price increases, so the cost of goods, and other commodities also increases. All this small small price reduction can not make any positive impact as the price of high cost of fuel is part of the unfavorable economy we face in Nigeria.
