“We would like to state that NNPC has not commenced lifting of refined Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, from our Dangote petroleum refinery,” the company said.

Dangote Group said the petrol market is strictly regulated, and as such, the company can not determine, fix or influence the product price which falls under the purview of relevant government authorities.

The group assured Nigerians of high-quality petroleum products, which will be available across the country.

This is coming months after its initial announcement to begin production of the commodity.

On May 18, Dangote said the refinery would commence petrol production in June, adding that Nigeria would not have to import the product again, however, production was postponed.
