About 48 hours after the President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, assured that petrol produced from his 650,000 barrels per day refining facility will hit filling stations in 48 hours, the product is yet to hit the market.
Dangote, during a broadcast on Tuesday morning, announcing the formal production of petrol at the refinery, said as soon as modalities with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited are formalised, Nigerians should expect to see and buy the product from petrol filling stations in 48 hours.
“Our PMS (Premium Motor Spirit) can be in filling stations within the next 48 hours depending on NNPCL,” he said.
The Dangote Group, however, said on Tuesday NNPC Limited had yet to commence lifting of premium motor spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, from its refinery.
In a statement on Thursday by the chief branding and communications officer, Anthony Chiejina, Dangote Group, said it was yet to finalise its contract with the NNPC.
