Oil marketers are saying that the volume of Premium Motor Spirit, popularly called petrol, produced by the Dangote Petroleum refinery is currently insufficient to meet domestic demand.
The marketers stated today that dealers will import the commodity to augment the supply from the $20 billion Lekki-based plant based on this.
They aligned with the Trade Union Congress to demand that the refinery ramp up production, as some alleged that the plant was producing about 10 million liters of petrol daily, as against the 25 million liters that it earlier promised to produce.
On September 15th, when the refinery commenced the release of PMS to the domestic marketer, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, announced that it was to load 16.8 million liters of petrol from the Dangote refinery.
