The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) has confirmed that Dangote Refinery sold petrol at N898 per litre as their tankers lifted the commodity on Sunday from the facility in Lekki, Lagos.
After moving about 300 trucks to the 650,000-capacity refinery, NNPC Ltd. commenced loading on Sunday.
Mr. Olufemi Soneye, Chief Corporate Communications Officer of NNPC Ltd., confirmed this, saying it was untrue that the company purchased it at N1,300 per litre or N760.
Soneye said: “We successfully loaded PMS at the Dangote Refinery today. The claim that we purchased it at N1,300 per litre or at N760 is incorrect.
“For this initial loading, the price from the refinery was N898 per liter. I can also confirm, in response to your inquiries, that we will receive 16.8 million litres.
“So far, we have loaded about 70 trucks today, and it’s still ongoing as of 4.30pm.”
