Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited says reports of an increase in its petrol price are incorrect. The company states that its ex-depot price for Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly called petrol, has not been adjusted. Both outlets report that the refinery is responding to claims that its gantry price has risen.
Premium Times and Vanguard both note that Dangote Petroleum attributes any public confusion to broader market conditions, including rising global crude oil prices and supply disruptions associated with tensions in the Middle East. However, the company maintains that these external factors have not translated into a higher ex-depot rate for PMS.
Overall, the messages from the company are consistent across the reports: Dangote Petroleum denies increasing its ex-depot price and insists that the pricing for petrol remains the same. The reports do not provide figures or evidence of any change beyond the contested claims, focusing instead on the company’s clarification.
