We sell petrol to ships for N960, trucks for N990 – Dangote refinery

The Dangote Refinery has claimed that they sell petrol for ship deliveries at N960 per litre and N990 per litre for truck supplies.

This was confirmed in a statement on Sunday, signed by the refinery’s Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer, Anthony Chiejina.

“Post deregulation, NNPC set the pace by selling PMS to domestic marketers at N971 per litre for sale into ships and at N990 for sale into trucks.

“This set the benchmark for our pricing, and we have even gone lower to sell at N960 per litre for sale into ships while maintaining N990 per litre for sale into trucks,” the statement read.

This move comes amid claims by fuel marketers that imported petrol can be sold at cheaper rates.

Addressing allegations from the oil marketers that imported fuel is priced lower than Dangote’s offerings, the company dismissed the claims, suggesting that any cheaper imports are likely substandard.

“We benchmark our prices against international standards.

“If anyone claims they can land PMS at a price cheaper than ours, then they are likely importing substandard products and working with international traders to dump low-quality fuel in the country, without considering the health of Nigerians or the longevity of their vehicles,” it added.
