Dangote Refinery Resumes Bulk Petrol Sales at ₦877 per Litre, Intensifying Market Price War
The Dangote Refinery has resumed bulk petrol sales at ₦877 per litre, up from its previous price of ₦820, sparking a renewed price war across Nigeria’s downstream oil sector.
According to Vanguard News, this sudden price adjustment has placed depot owners under heavy pressure, as competition tightens and profit margins shrink. Industry observers say the move could reshape the market, forcing smaller players to reconsider their pricing strategies.
Analysts note that while Dangote’s decision aims to stabilize supply, it also highlights the volatility of Nigeria’s fuel market amid ongoing economic reforms and currency fluctuations.

139 Million Nigerians Still Living in Poverty Despite Reform Gains World Bank Report
The World Bank has expressed concern that 139 million Nigerians are still living in poverty, despite the macroeconomic reform gains recorded in recent years.
In its latest assessment, the global financial institution acknowledged Nigeria’s progress in implementing economic reforms but emphasized the need for these efforts to translate into real improvements in the lives of citizens.
According to the World Bank, while structural reforms such as fuel subsidy removal and exchange rate unification may boost fiscal stability, they must also be complemented by targeted social investments that protect the most vulnerable populations.
The report underscores the importance of inclusive growth, calling on Nigerian leaders to ensure that policy successes lead to meaningful poverty reduction and improved living standards across the nation.
Nigerian Businessman Gives VDM 24 Hours to Take Down China Business Videos
A Nigerian businessman recently issued a 24-hour ultimatum to VDM, demanding that he stop sharing videos that expose business opportunities in China and take down all his existing content.
The businessman claims that VDM is “ruining” their operations, as traders have long profited by buying inexpensive goods from China and selling them in Nigeria at high margins. According to him, VDM’s videos are making it harder for them to maintain their business model.
However, many observers argue that VDM isn’t harming businesses but educating Nigerians on how to access global trade opportunities directly. Instead of resisting transparency, some suggest that local traders could adapt by offering competitive prices and improving services.
💡 Moral lesson: Knowledge empowers. Exposing business opportunities can disrupt traditional profit models, but it also opens doors for innovation, fair pricing, and entrepreneurship growth.
