The war drums in the Middle East have spilled fuel on Nigeria’s pump prices. With tension escalating between Iran, Israel, and the US, the ripple effect has sent global oil prices into volatile territory—and Nigeria’s petrol cost surging to new highs.

Dangote Refinery raised its ex-depot rate…
The ink had barely dried on the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran when the region plunged back into chaos. Brokered with bold confidence by US President Donald Trump, the truce was hailed on Monday night as a diplomatic masterstroke. By Tuesday morning, it had become a delicate thread threatening to snap. What happened? Israel’s early Tuesday strike on a radar facility north of Tehran prompted immediate outrage in Iran.
