By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Dangote Refinery has rebuffed reports claiming that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited, has its lifted petrol.
Dangote further clarified that the refinery is yet to announce any price for the sale of petrol from its refinery to members of the public.
This development was disclosed by the Chief Branding and Communications Officer of Dangote Group, Anthony Chiejina, in a statement on Thursday.
The statement reads: “Our attention has been drawn to a headline “NNPC lifts Dangote Petrol, sells at ₦897 per litre” published in the BusinessDay Newspapers of Wednesday, 4 September 2024.
“We would like to state that NNPC has not commenced lifting of refined Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, from our Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
“Therefore, the issue of fixing the price of petrol lifted from our refinery does not arise, as we are yet to finalize our contract with NNPC.”
Dangote further added, “The PMS market is strictly regulated, which is known to all oil marketers and stakeholders in the sector, hence we can not determine, fix, or influence the product price, which falls under the purview of relevant government authorities.
“We urge the public to disregard the headline as it is misleading and does not represent the true position in this matter.
“We are guaranteeing Nigerians of exceptionally high quality petroleum products that will be readily available all over the country.”

SAD! Fire Outbreak At Vegetable Market Kills 8, Injures 15
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
No fewer than eight people have died, and 15 others have been injured following a fire outbreak at a vegetable market in Zhangjiakou City, located in northern China.
The blaze broke out on Saturday morning at around 8:40 am local time at the Liguang market in the Qiaoxi District, northwest of Beijing.
The Qiaoxi District People’s Government confirmed that those injured were promptly transported to hospitals, with their conditions not considered life-threatening. The fire was eventually brought under control by 10 am, and authorities are now investigating its cause.
This incident is part of a broader pattern of deadly fires in China, which are often linked to lax building regulations and inadequate workplace safety measures. State media reported that a fire in Chengdu, a major city in October, hospitalized 24 people suffering from breathing difficulties. Additionally, a fire at a shopping centre in Zigong in July claimed the lives of 16 people.
The ongoing investigation into the cause of the Zhangjiakou market fire aims to prevent further such incidents and address the concerns regarding fire safety standards across the country.
