Contrary to widespread speculation that Dangote Refinery has set the price of premium motor spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, at N600 per liter, Anthony Chiejina, Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer, has denied the claims.
In a press release, Chiejina clarified that the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) is not yet a business partner of the refinery and that there has never been any discussion regarding the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) with them.
He 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.
“We would like to clarify that 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,” Chiejina added.
