The NNPC has stated that the product it loaded on Sunday was paid for in dollars, and that naira transactions will only commence on October 1, 2024.
The company has also assured that if the quoted pricing is disputed, it will be grateful for any discount from the Dangote Refinery, which will be passed on 100 per cent to the general public.
This development comes as the Dangote Group had disagreed with the NNPC on Sunday that it was selling PMS at N898, but it failed to release its price list.
The NNPC has released estimated prices of PMS obtained from the Dangote Refinery, which will be across NNPC retail stations in the country, based on September 2024 pricing.
