Fuel prices from Nigeria’s Dangote Refinery, the world’s largest single-train refinery, are set to rise following a sharp increase in gantry prices, driven by higher global crude oil costs linked to escalating conflict in Iran and the wider Middle East.
According to Business Insider Africa, pump prices for petrol have already gone up in some parts of Nigeria and could climb to as high as ₦1,000 per litre if current trends persist. The refinery has also outlined plans to invest in electricity generation, steel manufacturing, and port infrastructure as part of a broader push to strengthen African industrialisation and energy security.
The latest price hike underscores how geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are increasingly affecting fuel markets far beyond the region, with ripple effects now being felt across Africa.
