In preparation for the Dangote Refinery’s scheduled petrol loading on Sunday, September 15, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd. (NNPC Ltd.) has mobilized trucks to the refinery’s fuel loading gantry in Ibeju-Lekki on Saturday.
At the time of filing this report, NNPC Ltd. had deployed over 100 trucks, with hundreds more en route.
Barring any hiccups, the Dangote Refinery in Lekki, Lagos, will distribute the first batch of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, to filling stations for sale across the country on Sunday, September 15, Persecondnews had reported.
The Federal Government declared on Friday the completion of all agreements for the loading of the commodity from the refinery.
However, the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) will be the sole buyer of petrol from the refinery, which produces over 600 million barrels per day.
Starting Sunday, NNPC Ltd. will sell to marketers for nationwide distribution.
Nigeria’s Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, who chaired the Presidential Committee on the sales of crude oil and refined products for domestic consumption in Naira, disclosed this at a news conference in Abuja on Friday.
