Recall that the spokesperson of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, Chinedu Ukadike, said that its members will not patronise Port Harcourt refinery if its petroleum products are not cheaper and more competitive.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company has reacted to reports that its petrol price is higher than that of Dangote Refinery.
NNPCL clarified that it is yet to unveil a price template for Port Harcourt Refinery’s petroleum products.
The Spokesperson of NNPCL, Olufemi Soneye, in a message to journalists, made it clear that the Port Harcourt Refinery has yet to commence bulk sales of its petroleum products.
According to him, the firm still sells old stock of Dangote Refinery petrol.
“We have not yet commenced bulk sales, and we have not yet opened the purchase portal as we are still finalising the necessary processes.
“At present, the products we are selling are what we bought from the Dangote Refinery, which includes NMDPRA fees.
“The product from PH is currently for our retail stores. Our prices are regularly reviewed and adjusted as required,” he said.
