Dangote Denies Selling Petrol at N1,028 to Marketers

• Safiu Kehinde

Dangote Group has, on Saturday, denied alleged sales of its Petrol at N1,028 to oil marketers.

Reacting to a report which claimed that its petroleum refinery sells petrol to oil marketers between N1,015 and N1,028 per litre, the group took to its X handle to debunk the claim.

While no official statement was issued in response to the claim, Dangote posted an extract of the report, labelling it as fake news.

However, the report had disclosed the alleged sales of petrol to oil marketers at the stipulated prices which depend on the quantity purchased.

This, according to the report, led to the oil marketers vowing to import the commodity and sell below Dangote’s price as well as the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC).
