Fuel prices in Nigeria have risen to record levels, according to industry data.
The increase comes despite high production from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
Analysts say global market pressures are driving the surge in domestic fuel prices.
Tensions linked to conflicts in the Middle East have disrupted energy supply chains.
These disruptions have contributed to rising crude oil and refined product prices globally.
Nigeria, despite being an oil-producing country, still relies on global market pricing for fuel.
The Dangote refinery was expected to ease supply constraints and stabilise local prices.
However, experts say external market forces continue to influence domestic fuel costs.
Rising fuel prices have increased transportation and production costs across the country.
This has further contributed to inflation and higher living expenses for many Nigerians.
Industry stakeholders say sustained global instability could prolong price pressures.
They also note that local refining alone may not fully shield Nigeria from international market shocks.
