| Dangote Refinery Refutes Claims of Setting Petrol Price at ₦600 Per Litre |
The management of Dangote Refinery has refuted reports suggesting that the company has set the petrol price at ₦600 per litre, calling these claims "speculative announcements" without any basis.
This clarification was made in a statement signed on Tuesday by Anthony Chiejina, the Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer of Dangote Industries Limited.
The denial followed reports from some publications that the refinery was in discussions with oil marketers and that petrol might be sold for as low as ₦600 per litre.
However, the company stressed that it has not formed any partnership with the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) and will communicate any updates through official channels.
The statement read, “Our attention has been drawn to headlines announcing ‘Marketers Project N600/litre for Dangote Petrol’ published in Punch Newspapers on Tuesday, August 13, 2024.
“We would like to clarify that the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) is not our business partner yet.”
Chiejina further stated, “We have never discussed the 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.”
