Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced that it sells Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, at N960 per liter for ship deliveries and N990 per liter for truck supplies.
The company announced this in a statement by Anthony Chiejina, its group chief branding and communications officer.
In the statement, Dangote Refinery also dismissed marketers’ claims that its prices are higher than imported fuel.
Part of the statement reads:
Punch reports that the refinery has justified its pricing as aligned with global standards and called for support to the domestic refining industry.
Nigerians currently pay over N1,100 per litre to buy fuel at filling stations nationwide.
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) had raised the petrol price again.
The development came as Aliko Dangote, chairman of the Dangote Group, said that petrol was idle at his refinery without patronage.
