Dangote Resumes Sale Of Petrol In Naira
Dangote Petroleum Refinery has resumed sale of premium motor spirit (PMS) in Naira less than 24 hours after suspending the sale.
The reversal of the earlier decision followed the intervention of the Chairman of the Naira for Crude Transaction Committee, Dr. Zacch Adedeji who is the Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
The naira for crude arrangement was instituted by the federal government through the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to provide crude oil for domestic refineries.
On Friday, Dangote refinery in a notice to customers said it would halt sale of products in naira with effect from Sunday, September 28, 2025.
It explained that the facility had been selling petroleum products beyond its approved naira crude allocation and could no longer sustain the arrangement.
However less than 24 hours after the refinery issued a counter notice to its customers, saying the products’ sale in naira would continue.
