Dangote Refinery has strongly refuted claims made by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) that the refinery sold Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to the corporation at N898 per litre.
In a statement issued by the Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer, Anthony Chiejina, Dangote Refinery described the allegation as misleading and an attempt to undermine the significant progress made in addressing Nigeria’s long-standing energy challenges.
Chiejina emphasized that the refinery’s current stock of crude was procured in dollars, and that sales to the NNPCL were conducted in dollars, resulting in considerable savings compared to the prices of imported fuel.
He also reassured Nigerians that there will soon be adequate petrol supply across the country, reaching even the most remote local government areas.
The refinery urged Nigerians to disregard the claims made by NNPCL spokesperson Mr. Olufemi Soneye and await the formal pricing announcement, which is expected to come from the Technical Sub-Committee on Naira-based crude sales, appointed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. This announcement is scheduled for October 1, 2024.
The refinery reiterated its commitment to ensuring the availability of quality petroleum products and ending fuel scarcity in Nigeria.
