The Dangote Group has debunked claims of fixing petroleum price as projected by marketers.
This was made known in a statement signed by the group’s Communications Officer, Anthony Chijena, late Tuesday.
The group had, in reaction, to a report of the Independent Petroleum Marketers of Nigeria’s (IPMAN) projection of N600/litre for Dangote petrol, cleared the air surrounding the claim.
They said IPMAN are not in the position to determine petroleum price for the group, as they had no relationship with the marketers yet.
“Our attention has been drawn to headlines announcing “Marketers Project N600/litre for Dangote Petrol” published in Punch Newspapers of Tuesday August 13,2024.
“We would like to clarify that Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) is not our business partner yet.
“We have never discussed price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) with them, and they have no mandate or authority to speak for us, either for good or with hidden transcript.
“We urge the public to desist from such speculative announcements.
“We have our official channels through which we make our views known to our stakeholders.” The statement read.
