Adedeji also mentioned that while NNPCL will handle petrol distribution, other refined products like diesel can be lifted by interested off-takers. Furthermore, starting from October 1, NNPCL will begin purchasing crude oil from the Dangote Refinery using Naira.
Despite the successful lifting of petrol, there is still uncertainty regarding any potential changes in petrol pump prices.
Both NNPCL and the Dangote Refinery have yet to clarify the pricing structure, leaving consumers and market analysts awaiting further updates.
