Dangote Refinery: Tinubu committee to announce petrol price on October 1
Dangote Group has responded to reports claiming that it sold premium motor spirit (PMS) to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) at N898 per litre, calling the reports “misleading and malicious.”
In a statement issued by Chief Branding and Communication Officer Anthony Chiejina, Dangote Group did not confirm the specific price at which the product was sold, only stating that it was sold in dollars.
Olufemi Soneye, the NNPCL’s chief spokesperson, had previously stated that the company purchased the PMS at N898 per litre, correcting an earlier report that suggested the price was N760 per litre.

Dangote’s statement criticized Soneye’s report as intentionally misleading, aimed at undermining the achievement of the Dangote Refinery’s recent milestone in addressing Nigeria’s energy challenges. The statement urged Nigerians to disregard the misleading claims and wait for the official price announcement from the Technical Sub-Committee on Naira-based crude sales to local refineries, which will be made on October 1, 2024.
