The Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) has urged the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to reveal the exact price of the Premium Motor Spirit by the Dangote Refinery.
The call was made by PETROAN President, Billy Gillis-Harris during an appearance on Channels Television’s breakfast programme The Morning Brief on Thursday amid the national outrage over the latest petrol price hike.
Gillis-Harris emphasized the need for Dangote to open up a space of communication with retailers and other stakeholders.
“As I speak to you this morning I don’t know what the Dangote price is all about.
“At this point in Dangote’s campaign into Nigeria, retail outlet owners like us should be able to know this is how much Dangote is willing to sell to us and we have kept that shrouded in secrecy up until now.
“NNPC came out and gave us a price template, that also did not tell us what is the exact price input from Dangote.
“So, we would encourage Dangote to open up space of communication, talk with all the stakeholders, get valuable inputs from everybody because it is a business that involves Nigerians, retail outlet owners like us, marketers and different consumers.
“So, there should be some level of business transparency even if it is a private business which we are so proud of that we have such facility operating in Nigeria, but we need to start to see the works,” he stated.
