Oil marketers have confirmed that they will start lifting Premium Motor Spirit (petrol), from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery next week. Some revealed that they had started sending trucks to the Lagos-based multi-billion dollar plant to load products from Sunday while others stated that their tankers would hit the refinery any day from next week.
It was also gathered that some dealers are expecting imported petrol before the end of this month. The vessels of some major marketers would arrive in the country in the next 10 days.
The President of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote however, recently announced that only NNPC would lift PMS from the Dangote refinery for now but oil marketers stated on Friday that they had already commenced moves to load their trucks with petrol from the plant.
The initial daily supply from the refinery is anticipated to be 25 million litres.
