Dangote Refinery has denied fixing price of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) in the country, as recently reported in some sections of the media.
In a release signed by the Conglomerate’s Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer, Anthony Chiejina, and made available to TIME TESTED NEWS on Tuesday night, the management of the multi-billion-dollar refinery said, “Our attention has been drawn to headlines announcing “Marketers Project N600/litre for Dangote Petrol” published in Punch Newspapers of Tuesday August 13,2024.”
Chiejina continued, “We would like to clarify that the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) is not our business partner yet. We have never discussed 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.”
