Dangote Petrol Will Ease Transport Costs, Food Prices – CBN

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) says the lifting of petroleum products from Lagos-based Dangote Refinery will moderate the cost of transportation and ease food inflation.

CBN Governor Olayemi Cardoso stated this at a press briefing on Tuesday at the end of the 297th meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) in Abuja.

“The committee expressed optimism that the lifting of refined petroleum products from Dangote Refinery will moderate transportation costs and significantly support the easing of food price pressures in the short to medium term.

“This is also expected to moderate foreign exchange demands for importation of refined petroleum products with a positive spillover on external reserve and improvement in the overall balance of payment position,” Cardoso said.
