LAGOS, NIGERIA – The management of Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced a temporary suspension of the sale of petroleum products in Naira.
According to a statement e-signed and shared with StarTrend Int’l magazine and online platform by Mr. Sunday Esan, Head of Media Relations, Branding, and Communication, the decision aims to prevent a mismatch between sales proceeds and crude oil purchase obligations.
“To date, our sales of petroleum products in Naira have exceeded the value of Naira-denominated crude we have received. As a result, we must temporarily adjust our sales currency to align with our crude procurement currency.
“Our attention has also been drawn to reports on the internet claiming that we are stopping loading due to an incident of ticketing fraud. This is malicious falsehood. Our systems are robust and we have had no fraud issues.
“We remain committed to serving the Nigerian market efficiently and sustainably. As soon as we receive an allocation of Naira-denominated crude cargoes from NNPC, we will promptly resume petroleum product sales in Naira.
“We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this period.”
