Dangote Petroleum Refinery says it will begin petrol supply in August.
Reports had claimed that the delivery date of petrol supply
was postponed.
Speaking to TheCable on Wednesday Anthony Chiejina, chief
branding and communications officer of Dangote Group, said reports about
postponement are false.
Chiejina said the refinery is on track to produce petrol as
planned.
The development comes amid expectations of petrol supply
from the Dangote refinery this month.
On May 18, Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest person, said from
June, the refinery would begin producing petrol, adding that Nigeria would not
have to import the product again.
In June, the business mogul said due to a minor delay, the
refinery would commence petrol supply in July.
However, on July 15, Dangote refinery further postponed the
commencement of petrol supply to August.
“Gasoline production to commence in July with sales from
August,” the refinery said.
Also, on Tuesday, the refinery said it has not fixed its
petrol price at N600 per litre ahead of when the product would enter the
market.
Speaking on the issue, Chiejina urged the public to desist
from such speculative announcements, saying the company has official channels
through which it disseminates information to its stakeholders.
