Dangote Refinery Speaks On New Price Of Petrol Per Liter
Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced that it has yet to fix any price for its Premium Motor Spirit, popularly called petrol.
A report earlier on Tuesday said dealers under the aegis of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria said they believed the refinery would crash the price of petrol as it did with diesel.
According to the report, independent petroleum marketers in Nigeria are expecting the refinery to price its petrol at between N600 and N650 per litre once it becomes available in the market.
However, Dangote Refinery on Tuesday said nothing of such had been agreed on.
A statement by its Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer, Anthony Chiejina, said, “Our attention has been drawn to headlines announcing “Marketers Project N600/litre for Dangote Petrol” published in Punch Newspapers of Tuesday August 13,2024.
“We would like to clarify that Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) is not our business partner yet.
“We have never discussed price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) with them, and they have no mandate or authority to speak for us, either for good or with hidden transcript.
“We urge the public to desist from such speculative announcements. We have our official channels through which we make our views known to our stakeholders.”
