NNPCL vs Dangote: Petrol price war a skit – Shehu Sani

Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, on Thursday, said the price war between Dangote Refinery and the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, is a “skit.”

Sani was reacting to the decision of the Federal Government not to intervene in the price war between NNPCL and Dangote Refinery.

On Wednesday, the Federal Government said it would not interfere in the petrol pump price face-off between the NNPCL and Dangote Refinery.

Stating the position of the Federal Government, President Bola Tinubu’s spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, said both parties were at liberty to determine their own market prices for consumers.

Onanuga said all petroleum stakeholders are allowed to operate and set their prices according to economic market forces because it has been deregulated.

Reacting, Sani posted on X: “Now that the FG will not intervene in the Price war between Dangote and the NNPCL shows that ‘the war’ is a Skit.”
