A few days after the 650,000-capacity refinery engaged in a test-run of the product, The Dangote Petroleum Refinery is set to roll out the sale of Premium Motor Spirit, otherwise known as petrol.
The product would hit the market as soon as the government and the Dangote Group were working out modalities for the circulation of the product, Industry sources disclosed.
According to a government source, the sale and distribution of the PMS is being sorted out with the Federal Government, with only the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited would be authorised to sell the Dangote fuel at the moment.
But that the refinery battled crude shortage and entered into a brawl with the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Regulatory Authority, which accused the refinery of producing substandard diesel, petrol from the Dangote refinery was supposed to have been out since June.
The intervention of the Federal Government that crude oil should be supplied to the refinery in the local currency seems to be yielding the desired result.
Shortly after Dangote and other local refineries have repeatedly accused international oil companies of not selling crude to the local refiners, the Federal Government announced that the crude oil supply deal would commence in October.
