More controversy as the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has threatened to release documents proving its purchase of petrol from Dangote Refinery at ₦898 per litre.
According to NNPCL’s spokesperson, Olufemi Soneye, following a conflicting claim by Dangote Refinery, which refuted NNPCL’s disclosure.
NNPCL continues to stand by its initial report, asserting that it has the documentation to support the ₦898 per litre price. This development comes after Dangote Refinery began loading its petrol on Sunday, with 70 NNPCL trucks reportedly receiving supplies.
This ongoing dispute is drawing attention, particularly after the federal government projected a reduction in petrol prices following Dangote Refinery’s entry into the market.
The standoff between these major players has generated widespread interest as Nigerians look forward to the impact this will have on the fuel supply and pricing system.
