NNPCL Purchases Fuel from Dangote Refinery at N898 Per Litre
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has disclosed that it bought fuel from the Dangote Refinery at a price of N898 per litre, clarifying previous reports that suggested a lower purchase price.
On Sunday, NNPCL began transporting 300 trucks to the 650,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Lagos, marking the commencement of fuel loading. However, a spokesperson for NNPCL, Olufemi Soneye, addressed speculations regarding the cost per litre.
“We successfully loaded PMS at Dangote Refinery today,” Soneye said in a statement. “However, the claim that we purchased the fuel at N760 per litre is inaccurate. For this initial loading, the price was N898 per litre.”
