Their reactions come after the company’s Group Chief Branding and Communication Officer, Anthony Chiejina, revealed the reduction in a statement on Sunday, November 24.
While the announcement has been met with excitement by a section of Nigerians, others believe the reduction is minimal considering the economic hardship plaguing Nigerians.
The statement indicated that the reduction was a way to appreciate Nigerians for their unwavering support in making the refinery a dream come true.
“Dangote Petroleum Refinery has effected a reduction in the prevailing price of its Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from N990/litre to N970/litre for the marketers.
“As the year comes to an end, this is our way of appreciating the good people of Nigeria for their unwavering support in making the Refinery a dream come true.
“In addition, this is to thank the government for their support as this will complement the measures put in place to encourage domestic enterprise for our collective well-being,” the statement said.
Mr. Chiejina said the refinery would not compromise on the quality of its petroleum products while assuring Nigerians of the best quality products that are environmentally friendly and sustainable.
“We are determined to keep ramping up production to meet and surpass our domestic fuel consumption, thus dispelling any fear of a shortfall in supply,” he said.
Recall that the founder and president/chief executive of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, said the refinery has more than 500 million litres of petrol in stock, but marketers have not been picking up the product.
