DAILY POST?
Dangote Refinery has finally made its petrol prices public following the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, and Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria, PETROAN, claimed.
DAILY POST reports that there have been conflicting reports over the price of fuel from Dangote Refinery.
IPMAN and PETROAN had earlier claimed to be importing petrol products at cheaper rates compared to Dangote price.
Reacting to the claim in an official statement signed by its Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer, Anthony Chiejina, on Sunday evening, the refinery disclosed that its petroleum products are sold to trucks at N990 per litre and N960 per litre into ships.
According to the statement: “We had lately refrained from engaging in media fights, but we are constrained to respond to the recent misinformation being circulated by IPMAN, PETROAN, and other associations.
“Both organisations claim that they can import PMS at lower prices than what is being sold by the Dangote Refinery. We benchmark our prices against international prices and we believe our prices are competitive relative to the price of imports. If anyone claims they can land PMS at a price cheaper than what we are selling, then they are importing substandard products and conniving with international traders to dump low-quality products into the country. without concern for the health of Nigerians or the longevity of their vehicles. Unfortunately, the regulator (NMDPRA) does not even have laboratory facilities which can be used to detect substandard products when imported into the country.
