Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals says it is considering restricting the sale of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly called petrol, to certain marketers and importers. The move targets companies that continue importing petrol while also dealing with the Dangote brand, with the refinery citing concerns about the quality and integrity of products being supplied under its branding.
According to reporting from Nigeria’s Daily Post and Vanguard, the refinery’s action is linked to issues such as product blending, transparency in the market, and whether the PMS available through participating marketers meets expected standards. Both outlets describe the proposal as a potential sales restriction aimed at major marketers that are still importing petrol.
The outlets do not provide further details in the excerpts about specific criteria, enforcement mechanisms, or the final timeline. Both indicate the refinery could implement the restriction as early as the near term, pending decisions on how the policy would be applied.
