Local marketers have urged the authorities at Dangote Refinery to disclose the price of fuel from its refinery as they are ready to buy petrol from the facility.<\/h2>\n

The President of the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association (PPROOA), Gillis-Harry, who expressed the position of the local marketers, said they can\u2019t simply rely on claims that Dangote\u00a0Petrol is cheaper than the imported one without any concrete communication from the refinery.<\/p>\n

He, however, expressed the readiness of the oil marketers to do business with Dangote Refinery\u00a0at a price that would be beneficial for both sides.<\/p>\n

The statement comes as a direct response to the submission by the\u00a0Vice President of Dangote Industries Limited,\u00a0Edwin Devakumar<\/strong>, who accused local petroleum marketers of boycotting Dangote Refinery\u2019s petrol despite offering lower prices.<\/p>\n

Edwin made\u00a0the allegation while speaking during an X space session organised by Nairametrics, where he said only 3 percent of local petroleum marketers were interested in buying its recently rolled-out petrol.<\/p>\n

However, the PPROOA president emphasized the need to know the cost price from Dangote so they can calculate other logistics demands and avoid running at a loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy don\u2019t Dangote Refinery give us a price list of what his price is? They cannot tell the price of Dangote Refinery\u2019s PMS which they claim is cheaper than imported petrol.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is the price of DRL petrol? How come they are saying marketers are boycotting their petrol? We don\u2019t know how much Dangote is selling its petrol. We are willing to partner with him but we partner on the basis that we would be able to sell with a human face.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, everybody is crying. The buying price, not the landing price at retail outlets is N870 per liter. In filling stations in some areas N855 or N890. When we buy and take to our retail outlets with all the costs, including logistics, how much would it be?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBut at least, we know what NNPCL is selling fuel, let us also know what Dangote Refinery will sell petrol. We don\u2019t know. We are anxious to know. We want to be able to patronize Dangote Refinery petrol.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are willing to lift Dangote\u2019s petrol. We don\u2019t want him to sell his product at a loss while we don\u2019t want terms of sales that will be strangulated,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n

Gillis-Harry further disclosed that in the case of Dangote Refinery\u2019s Automotive Gas Oil (Diesel), marketers were mandated to buy at least one million liters which most of them could not afford.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor instance, in the last trial of Dangote Refinery\u2019s Automotive Gas Oil, we were made to buy a minimum of one million liters of diesel.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHow many retail outlets can afford to pay such an amount of money? That is the challenge because everybody wants to buy one, two or three trucks to take to their retail outlets. That was what we experienced with AGO.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t know what we should have with Dangote Refinery PMS because he has never spoken to us or given us a basis to trade with him. However, we are willing and able to work with him,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
