Oil marketers have clarified that they are not opposed to Dangote Refinery and are open to purchasing refined Premium Motor Spirit from the facility.
The President of the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria, Billy Gillis-Harry, made this clarification in an interview on Channels Television’s Morning Brief on Tuesday.
Gillis-Harry stated that oil marketers would buy products from the refinery if all market conditions were properly negotiated and agreed upon.
Billy also mentioned that marketers plan to meet with Dangote Refinery this week to solidify discussions and establish the groundwork for a cooperative working relationship.
The clarification follows PETROAN’s recent accusation that Dangote Refinery is attempting to stifle competition in the downstream sector.
Marketers raised these concerns after Dangote Refinery suggested they were criticising its petrol pricing because they preferred to import lower-quality products at more affordable rates.
