The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria has said the Dangote Petroleum Refinery should sell Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) below the current N825 per litre price being sold by the Lekki-based plant.
IPMAN Publicity Secretary, Chinedu Udadike, in an interview with our correspondent, stated that the refinery had the necessary enabling factors to sell petrol below its current ex-depot price.
Ukadike was reacting to a comment by the President of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, that the refinery contributed to the consistent drop in fuel prices to a level that Nigerians pay about 55 per cent of what other West African citizens pay for petrol.
Also recently, Dangote told ECOWAS officials and President Bola Tinubu that the naira-for-crude policy of the Federal Government had positively impacted the pricing of refined petroleum prod
ucts.
