Aliko Dangote, President of the Dangote Group, has disclosed that the pricing of the Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from his new refinery will be set by the Federal Executive Council, chaired by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In an interview with Channels Television, Dangote shared this development following the announcement of the refinery’s first batch of petrol from its 650,000-barrel-per-day facility, which took place on Tuesday.
He explained that the petrol from the refinery will become available at filling stations within the next 48 hours, contingent on the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).
Dangote also mentioned that discussions are nearing completion between the $20 billion refinery and NNPCL to ensure the product reaches consumers throughout Nigeria.
He emphasized that the Federal Executive Council, under the leadership of President Tinubu, will determine the final price of the petrol.
