The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited says it is still selling the Premium Motor Spirit it bought from the Dangote Refinery.
NNPCL said the Port Harcourt Refinery has yet to commence the sale of petroleum products to marketers, adding that the PMS price from the Dangote refinery has applicable fees of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority.
In a statement on Friday, the NNPCL’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, stated, “The Port Harcourt Refining Company has not yet commenced bulk sales or opened its purchase portal, as essential processes are still being finalised.
“Currently, the products we are selling originate from the Dangote Refinery and include applicable NMDPRA fees.
“Products from PHRC are exclusively for our retail stores at this stage. Our pricing is reviewed and adjusted periodically as necessary to reflect operational realities.“
He advised the public to disregard pricing information.
“We advise the public to disregard any misleading information regarding pricing. Official announcements will be made if and when price reviews occur,” he said.
Our correspondent had earlier contacted Soneye to get his reaction to claims by the Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association of Nigeria that the refinery would now sell its PMS at N1,030 per litre but he didn’t respond.
The PETROAN spokesman, Joseph Obele said, “NNPC Retail Limited has officially announced the PMS price at the Port Harcourt refinery as N1,030 per litre. It was also communicated to PETROAN that the product request portal was open for booking/request.”
