The Dangote Refinery was expected to transform Nigeria's petroleum industry by increasing local refining and reducing the country's dependence on imported petrol.But with petrol prices rising again despite the availability of locally refined fuel, many Nigerians are asking why the expected relief has not yet reached the pump.Today on Nigeria Daily, we look at why petrol prices are still rising despite the Dangote Refinery producing fuel, what is driving the latest increase, and what this means for Nigerians.

You've probably noticed, fuel prices are on the rise again.This week they hit a four-month high.So what's behind this latest spike, and what lies ahead? 

Retail's been taking a hit since the Iran war began, with people staying home to save money and fuel. Stats NZ data shows the June quarter's inflation and seasonal-adjusted sales volumes fell 0.5% on the three months to March, but after accounting for surging fuel prices, petrol station sales actually plunged 13%. The only significant growth was in computer and appliance store sales, with sectors that rely on people driving around and using discretionary money —accommodation, hospo, car dealers— also seeing drops. ASB Senior Economist Jane Turner told Ryan Bridge they expect consumer spending will remain fairly modest throughout the rest of the year, with a more meaningful recovery coming next year.

Jeremy Cordeaux is back in the garage with Pete and Gary, and there's plenty on his mind. Pauline Hanson has regained top spot as preferred prime minister in the AFR's numbers — ahead of Labor and well ahead of the Liberals — and Jeremy can only imagine the panic in the back rooms. He turns to the quiet end of fuel excise relief, and his fury that not one journalist asked the Treasurer why the government would remove cost-of-living help while indexing the excise up on top — a fuel-price rise he warns will multiply through the price of everything. He also unpacks the $23.4 billion in electric-car subsidies running to 2036 ("no wonder they're selling well — what happens when it disappears?"), the "62 cents a day" tax cut he calls a disgrace, and Jacinta Allan's farewell speech as Victorian Premier — a "complete rewrite of history" from ten years of debt, the CFMEU, and a Commonwealth Games that cost nearly a billion and never happened. Plus H5 bird flu centred on South Australia, why the Muslim Brotherhood is banned in several countries but not Australia, and this day in history — Dom Pérignon, the Queen Mother, Marilyn Monroe, Louis Armstrong and Reg Grundy, for whom Jeremy once hosted Blind Date for $15 an episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Petrol prices are expected to jump after a 16-cent cut in the fuel excise expires as of Monday.And, of course, this is amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East where a fresh wave of attacks from the United States and Iran this week has made shipping even more treacherous across the Strait of Hormuz.It's seen the price of oil also rise steadily the past few weeks.So, what can we expect to see at the bowser?

As the federal government's 16-cent fuel excise discount expires at midnight on Sunday, Brisbane motorists face potential price increases on top of already rising cost-of-living pressures. However, Australian Association of Convenience Stores CEO Theo Foukarre joined Jason Matthews on 4BC Breakfast to advise drivers against panic buying, assuring that high stock levels and local market competition should prevent an immediate price spike on Monday morning.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A new front has opened up at the petrol pump, with global oil prices inching closer to $100 USD a barrel, as the Middle East conflict escalates. Earlier today, a tanker was reportedly struck by an unknown projectile off Saudi Arabia's coast. It follows US President Donald Trump threatening to bomb Iranian infrastructure in response to any attacks on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Waitomo group CEO, Simon Parham spoke to Lisa Owen.

It's possible our Defence Force could send personnel to the Middle East to help stop the Houthis. They're the group in Yemen, backed by Iran, currently firing drones and cruise missiles at Saudi tankers. They're the ones, along with the Revolutionary Guard in Iran, pushing up the price of oil this morning. They're the ones blocking the B route for getting crude out of the Gulf. They're the reason we'll probably pay more to fill up our cars and trucks in the coming weeks, if crude prices stay high. Like most other Western countries, we haven't touched Trump's war and done anything about Hormuz. But the Red Sea is different because we've been there before. Two years ago, Judith Collins sent six NZDF personnel specifically to help the US-led coalition trying to stop attacks exactly like this. Winston said at the time the attacks were illegal, against our values, and continue to affect New Zealand's economy. You'd have to say, given what we're witnessing this week, nothing's changed. That deployment was scheduled to end at the beginning of 2025 after being extended. In June Chris Penk extended a deployment to the Middle East by two years of up to 14 personnel for 'maritime security". The question is whether we will now be sending more and doing more.

Yet, in many parts of the country, motorists say they are still paying high prices for fuel, with little or no difference at their local filling stations.So, what is delaying the reduction?
