The Dangote Refinery has debunked a statement attributed to NNPCL spokesperson, Mr.
Olufemi Soneye, that the Dangote Refinery sell PMS at N898 per litre to the NNPCL.
The Refinery said the statement is both misleading and mischievous, deliberately aimed at undermining
the milestone achievement recorded on September 15, 2024, towards addressing
energy insufficiency and insecurity, which has bedeviled the economy in the past 50
years.
A statement by Anthony Chiejina,
Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer, urged Nigerians to disregard this malicious statement and await a formal announcement on the pricing, by the Technical Sub-Committee on Naira-based crude
sales to local refineries, appointed by His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which will commence on October 1, 2024, “bearing in mind that our current stock of crude was procured in dollars.
“It should also be noted that we sold the products to NNPCL in dollars with a lot of savings
against what they are currently importing. With this action, there will be petrol in every
local government area of the country regardless of their remote nature.
“We assure Nigerians of availability of quality petroleum product and putting an end to the
endemic fuel scarcity in the country.”
