The President of the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria, PETROAN, Billy Gillis-Harry, has refuted the claims made by the association’s Public Relations Officer, Dr. Joseph Obele, who announced that the price of petrol from Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, was N75 higher than the N970 per litre offered by Dangote refinery.
Making the clarification in a statement on Wednesday, Harry emphasized that the State-owned company has not announced any price.
Media Talk Africa recalls that PETROAN, through its Public Relations Officer, Dr. Joseph Obele, said the price of petrol from the old Port Harcourt Refinery, which resumed production on Tuesday, is N75 per litre higher than that sold by the Dangote Refinery.
This was after the commencement of Port Harcourt Refinery on Tuesday.
The refinery on Tuesday trucked out petroleum products, including petrol, diesel, and kerosene, while other products will be dispatched as well.
Harry, in his statement ,said that no new price for PMS has been released by the NNPC Port Harcourt refinery.
“Members of PETROAN only bought PMS with the old pricing template awaiting new prices.
“We are excited that the production and loading of refined petroleum products have commenced at the Port Harcourt Refinery and we are expectant that soon the price of PMS will be stated by NNPC to the benefit of Nigerians,” he said.
