Russia’s Defence Ministry has reported that it intercepted and destroyed 144 Ukrainian drones overnight, marking one of the largest drone attacks of the war. The drones were shot down over various regions, including Moscow, Kursk, Bryansk, Voronezh, and Belgorod². This significant escalation comes amid ongoing intense fighting in eastern Ukraine and the border regions.
10. Fuel landing cost rises, marketers fear high Dangote petrol price.
Oil marketers in Nigeria are expressing concerns over the rising landing cost of petrol, which has now reached approximately N1,120 per litre. This increase is causing apprehension about the potential high price of petrol from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
The delay in announcing the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from the Dangote refinery has led marketers to consider importing petrol if the refinery’s prices are too high. The landing cost is the price at which the commodity arrives at Nigeria’s shores, and with the current pump prices ranging between N855 and N897 per litre, some independent dealers have already hiked their prices above N1,000 per litre.
The National President of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Abubakar Maigandi, mentioned that they are in discussions with foreign partners to potentially import petrol if it proves to be more cost-effective than purchasing from the Dangote refinery.
