Nigeria's Dangote begins pricing local fuel sales in dollars, citing crude supply constraints

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has started pricing local fuel in U.S. dollars, citing challenges obtaining enough crude under Nigeria’s naira-for-crude program and rising global oil prices. The shift suggests near-term cost/availability pressure for domestic supply, with potential knock-on effects for fuel affordability and local market pricing.
