The Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) has refuted claims circulating in the media regarding a new petrol price set by the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) for the Port Harcourt Refinery.
In a statement signed by the association’s president, Dr. Billy Sotubo Gillis-Harry, PETROAN clarified that it is currently purchasing Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) based on the old pricing template while awaiting official pricing updates from NNPCL.
“The National Headquarters of the Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN), Abuja, would like to inform the media and the general public that no new price for PMS has been released by the NNPC Port Harcourt Refinery.
“Members of PETROAN only bought PMS with the old pricing template while awaiting new prices,” the statement read.
Dr. Gillis-Harry expressed optimism about the ongoing production and loading of refined petroleum products at the Port Harcourt Refinery, adding, “We are excited that the production and loading of refined petroleum products have commenced at the Port Harcourt Refinery, and we are expectant that soon, the price of PMS will be stated by NNPC to the benefit of Nigerians.”
