Petrol Marketers Complained To Tinubu Our Diesel Price Is Too Cheap – Dangote

By Our Reporter 

“As a result of this poor local patronage, the refinery exports most of its diesel and aviation fuel,” he said.

Edwin had earlier said Dangote Refinery products would be exported if the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and other petroleum dealers in the country refuse to patronise it.

 “We have been exporting aviation fuel, we have been producing kerosene, we have been producing diesel, but yesterday, we started the production of PMS. So, that was the last stage. The only thing now left out is petrochemicals.

 “So, the good news for the country is we have started producing PMS from our refinery,” he had said on a radio programme.

Asked if the petrol would be sold locally," Edwin replied, “Well, I explained how there has been a kind of a blockade from lifting our products within the country. The traders have been trying to block (it), and so now we have been exporting our petroleum products. PMS, we are ready to pump in as much as possible to the country.

“But if the traders or NNPC are not buying the product, obviously, we will end up exporting the PMS as we are doing with the aviation jet and diesel,” he declared.
