The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has said that it is misleading to suggest that the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) are experiencing difficulties loading refined products from its refinery.
The company’s statement signed by its Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer, Anthony Chiejina, on Thursday, was in response to a claim by IPMAN on Wednesday that its members can’t load petrol from the Dangote Refinery in Lagos despite having paid ₦40bn to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).
IPMAN President Abubakar Garima, expressed surprise that Aliko Dangote, the owner of the $20bn refinery, said marketers were boycotting his refinery to buy imported petrol.
