Chairman of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote has said Dangote Refinery is awaiting a nod from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited to roll out its Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly known as petrol or fuel.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Dangote made this disclosure in a video shared via the X platform of Dangote Group on Wednesday, while stressing that the refinery have no control over pricing and that the role of the Dangote Refinery is only to make sure petrol is available.
“On the pricing, I cannot say anything because we do not control the pricing. The pricing at the moment is controlled by the NNPC, not Dangote. We will wait for them to do that.
“But, our own for now is to make sure that products are available, and also round-tripping is stopped, where people are just taking Dollars out and not bringing products. Most of the shinanigans will stop. That is what I can guarantee you.
“NNPC are the ones that will sell to the market and distribute, and that it the current arrangement for Naira-Naira. We are ready on our part. We are waiting for the NNPC to be ready on their part. Once they are ready, we will roll,” Dangote said.
