NNPC Yet To Lift Petrol From Our Refinery – Dangote
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.”

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has made arrests related to suspected vote-buying in the ongoing Edo State governorship election which took place at around 10:00 am, in the Egor Local Government Area of the state.
EFCC officials apprehended three individuals — two men and one woman — who are suspected of being involved in vote-buying activities. However, some residents in the area have protested, claiming that the suspects are being unfairly targeted.
Today’s election in Edo State has three main candidates as the front-runners. Representing the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is Asue Ighodalo. The All Progressives Congress (APC) is fielding Senator Monday Okpebholo, while the Labour Party (LP) candidate is Olumide Akpata.
There are a total of 17 candidates vying for the governorship position, but the race is largely between the PDP, APC, and Labour Party candidates.
Former Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole has dismissed allegations of vote buying against the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the ongoing governorship election in the state.
Oshiomhole made this statement on Saturday after casting his vote at Ward 10, Unit 01, Iyamho, in the Estako West Local Government Area.
In response to the claims, Oshiomhole said, “It is laughable when I hear this kind of allegation. You all have been monitoring the process. Have you seen any instance of money being shared?”
He emphasized that the large turnout of voters was due to the people’s desire for good governance, adding, “During our campaigns, people came out not because they expected handouts, but because of what I accomplished as governor.”
Currently serving as the senator representing Edo North Senatorial District, Oshiomhole confirmed that he had not received any reports of violence across the state. He expressed satisfaction with the peaceful conduct of the election and praised the elderly for their active participation.
“The elderly coming out to vote shows their commitment to securing a better future for their children,” he said.
