Monday, September 16, 2024 -The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has decried the decision of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to sell petrol lifted from the Dangote Refinery higher than imported ones.
The NNPCL began loading the first batch of
petrol from the Dangote Refinery on Sunday, saying it got petrol at N898 per
litre from the private refinery. Dangote Refinery denied selling petrol to the
NNPCL at N898.
A spokesman for the refinery Anthony Chiejina in a statement late
Sunday described the claim by the NNPCL as “misleading and mischievous”.
Before buying petrol from the Dangote
Refinery on Sunday, NNPCL retail outlets in Lagos sold petrol for around N855
but on Monday, the NNPC the Dangote petrol will now sell for N950 per litre in
Lagos and N1,019 in Borno prompting reactions from Nigerians.
“If NNPC can sell Dangote products
higher than the imported products then it doesn’t make sense. What is the
celebration we were having all these while then?” IPMAN National Welfare
Officer, John Kekeocha, said on Channels Television on Monday, September 16
