Dangote Refinery has denied fixing the petrol price at N600 per litre.
Newsone Nigeria recalls that reports had claimed that oil marketers projected that petrol from the refinery would be sold at N600 per litre.
However, the group chief branding and communications officer of Dangote Group, Anthony Chiejina, said the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) is not its business partner yet.
“We have never discussed price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) with them, and they have no mandate or authority to speak for us, either for good or with hidden transcript,” he said.
He urged the public to desist from such speculative announcements, saying the company has official channels through which it disseminates information to its stakeholders.
The development comes amid expectations of petrol supply from the Dangote refinery this month.
On July 15, the Dangote refinery said it would commence petrol supply in August.
