Also, it was revealed at the meeting of the Technical Committee on the sale of crude oil to local refineries in Naira that diesel and other petroleum products from Dangote refinery could be sold to any interested party but the petrol, to NNPC and interested marketers can only get the product from NNPC ltd.
In the meeting, it was also confirmed that agreements had been reached and all modalities had been completed between the Federal Executive Council (FEC), Dangote refinery, other local refineries and stakeholders that sales and purchase of the petroleum product will be made in Naira.
The policy of transacting in Naira, as disclosed by the Government, is target at easing pressure on the Naira, eradicating unwarranted cost of transactions and boosting supply and availability of the petroleum product across the country. Dangote Petrol: We Buy Petrol NNPCL ₦898 Per Litre – NNPC

Dangote refinery, in the post, has said the its attention has been to a false claim made by Mr. Olufemi Soneye, NNPCL spokesperson, that Dangote Refinery sells its petrol to NNPC as N898 per litre.
A claim regarded as misleading and mischievous by Dangote refinery which it said it was made to erode the monumental achievement made by Dangote Group amidst energy insufficient and insecurity which has militated against the progress of the country’s economy in the last five decades.
“It said, Our attention has been drawn to a statement attributed to NNPCL spokesperson, Mr. Olufemi Soneye, that we sell our PMS at N898 per litre to the NNPCL. Dangote Petrol: We Buy Petrol NNPCL ₦898 Per Litre – NNPC
“This statement is both misleading and mischievous, deliberately aimed at undermining the milestone achievement recorded today, September 15, 2024, towards addressing energy insufficiency and insecurity, which has bedeviled the economy in the past 50 years.
“We urge Nigerians to disregard this malicious statement and await a formal announcement on the pricing, by the Technical Sub-Committee on Naira-based crude sales to local refineries, appointed by His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, which will commence on October 1, 2024, bearing in mind that our current stock of crude was procured in dollars.
“It should also be noted that we sold the products to NNPCL in dollars with a lot of savings against what they are currently importing. With this action, there will be petrol in every local government area of the country regardless of their remote nature.
“We assure Nigerians of availability of quality petroleum products and putting an end to the endemic fuel scarcity in the country,” It concluded.
