DANGOTE Petroleum Refinery has discountenanced reported remarks by some oil marketers that it was set to begin the sale of petrol at about N600 to N650 per litre of the product.
In a statement signed by Anthony Chiejina, Dangote Group’s Chief Branding and Communications Officer, the world single-strain crude oil refinery said IPMAN has no mandate or authority to speak for it. 
“Our attention has been drawn to headlines announcing “Marketers Project
N600/litre for Dangote Petrol” published in Punch Newspapers on Tuesday, 13 August 2024.
“We would like to clarify that the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) İs not our business partner yet. We have never discussed the 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 transcripts.”
Dangote Petroleum Refinery, therefore, urges members of the public to desist from such speculative announcements.
“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.”
Eighteen-Eleven Media reports PMAN had on Tuesday said they were hoping that the Dangote Petroleum Refinery will sell its petrol at N600 or N650/litre when it is finally released into the market this month.
