Dangote Refinery Denies Selling Cheaper Petrol Abroad Amid Controversy

Dangote Refinery denied allegations by DAPPMAN that it sells petrol cheaper in Togo than in Nigeria. The controversy arose when DAPPMAN claimed Dangote was offering lower prices to international traders compared to local marketers.

In response, Dangote Group refuted the claims, stating that petrol prices in Togo are actually higher than in Nigeria. The refinery emphasized its commitment to providing affordable petrol in Nigeria, despite still importing crude oil.

Dangote accused marketers of indirectly buying petrol from international traders at inflated prices, rather than partnering directly with the refinery for discounts. This dispute sheds light on the complexities of the Nigerian petroleum market.
