The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has disclosed that Dangote petrol will be sold at a price above N1,000 per litre in the far north, N950 in Lagos.
This was made known by NNPC spokesperson, Olufemi Soneye, in a statement titled ‘NNPC Ltd Releases Estimated Pump Prices of PMS from Dangote Refinery Based on September 2024 Pricing’, issued on Monday.
Soneye explained that the price may go for as high as N1,019/litre in places like Borno State, and N999.22 in Abuja, Sokoto, Kano, and others.
In Oyo, Rivers and other areas in the South, it will be N960 per litre.
The lowest price, according to an infographic released by the NNPC, is N950 in Lagos and its environs.
“The NNPC Ltd has released estimated prices of Premium Motor Spirit, also known as petrol (obtained from the Dangote Refinery) in its retail stations across the country.
“The NNPC Ltd also wishes to state that, in line with the provisions of the Petroleum Industry Act, PMS prices are not set by the government, but negotiated directly between parties at an arm’s length.
“The NNPC Ltd can confirm that it is paying Dangote Refinery in USD for September 2024 PMS offtake, as naira transactions will only commence on October 1, 2024.
“The NNPC Ltd assures that if the quoted pricing is disputed, it will be grateful for any discount from the Dangote Refinery, which will be passed on 100 per cent to the general public,” the statement added.
Recall that the Dangote Group had on Sunday disagreed with the NNPC that it was selling PMS at N898, but it failed to release its price list.
