Dangote refinery begins selling petrol directly to marketers

Some oil marketers have started lifting petrol directly from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery, without recourse to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).

While more oil marketers were trying to buy the product directly from the plant, others have resported to importing the commodity, as hundreds of millions of litres of imported PMS should hit Nigeria’s shores in two weeks’ time.

Recall that on Monday that no fewer than four vessels carrying imported PMS arrived at seaports situated along the nation’s borders between Friday, October 18, and Sunday, October 20.

The report cited a document obtained from the Nigerian Port Authority, which showed that about 123.4 million litres of PMS were berthed at two seaports to improve fuel supply nationwide.

The development confirmed an earlier exclusive report by The PUNCH, which disclosed that oil dealers intend to import the commodity to supplement the supply from the $20bn Dangote refinery.

Meanwhile, as major oil marketers import the commodity, their counterparts have started lifting PMS directly from the Lekki-based plant.
