Dangote Plc has denied media publication insinuating that the Nigeria National Petroleum Company (NNPC) has commenced lifting of its products.
A statement signed by Anthony Chiejina Group Chief Branding and Communications OfficerOfficer on Thursday said there is no iota of fact in the report making the round.
According to Chiejina, “Our attention has been drawn to a headline “NNPC lifts Dangote Petrol, sells at N897 per litre”published in the BusinessDay Newspapers of Wednesday, 4 September 2024.
“We would like to state that NNPC has not commenced lifting of refined Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, from our Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
“Therefore, the issue of fixing the price of petrol lifted from our refinery does not arise, as we are yet to finalize our contract with NNPC”.
Dangote noted that PMS market is strictly regulated, which is known to all oil marketers and stakeholders in the sector, “hence we can not determine, fix, or influence the product price, which falls under the purview of relevant government authorities”.
He added that “We urge the public to disregard the headline as it is misleading and does not represent the true position in this matter. We are guaranteeing Nigerians of exceptionally high quality petroleum products that will be readily available all over the country”.
