The Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) has entered into a partnership with Dangote Refinery to distribute premium motor spirit nationwide. This agreement is expected to eliminate price disparities at filling stations.
According to PETROANβs National President, Billy Gillis-Harry, the deal demonstrates Dangote Refineryβs commitment to supporting Nigerians. Gillis-Harry expressed optimism that this partnership will bring better days for the country.
βPETROAN sealed a partnership with Dangote/MRS for greater and more efficient petroleum distribution nationwide. By this agreement reached today, Nigerians will henceforth get the best value for money paid for the purchase of PMS, and the era of price disparity will be a thing of the past, even as consideration for the cost of transportation is inclusive in the scheme,β he said.
In a separate development, PETROAN commended the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority for issuing gas distribution/importation licenses to accredited marketers. These licensees include NGML, NIPCO, AXXELA, FALCON, and SNG.
The association urged the licensees to utilize their permits effectively, ensuring seamless gas distribution across the countryβs 774 local government areas. This aligns with President Bola Tinubuβs gas expansion initiative.
