Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has voiced frustration over the recent increase in prices of Premium Motor Spirit well called petrol.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, Sani expressed disbelief, stating, “The expectation was that Dangote refinery will crash the price of petrol; the news that it’s increasing is baffling.”

His comments come in the wake of an announcement by Dangote Petroleum Refinery revealing a price hike for petrol.

The refinery has raised the price to N955 per litre for purchases between 2 and 4.99 million litres and N950 per litre for bulk buyers purchasing 5 million litres or more.

This marks a 6.17% increase, or N55.5 per litre, from the discounted rate of N899.50 per litre offered during the December 2024 holiday period.
