Man laments over PH refinery's fuel price
The man, who shared his concerns on TikTok via @cc_ehijames_official, pointed out the irony of Nigeria's refinery selling fuel at a higher price than a privately-owned refinery.
His rant ended with a call to action, advising the Port Harcourt refinery to reconsider its pricing strategy or risk being shut down.
In his words:
"Why is Portharcourt Refinery Selling fuel at N1,045 per litre while Dangote is selling for N970 per litre. Nigeria own refinery sells fuel higher than Dangote refinery, but why? According to them, them go dey load 200 trucks everyday from the refinery but the question is that their fuel is higher than Dangote.
"What could be the reason? Because this one is even indigenous refinery e be. That means the problem of Nigeria is not Dangote. If they are going to be selling this fuel higher then what is the essence of opening this refinery? If their opening will not reduce fuel price then they should better close down."
