Billy Gillis-Harry, the President of PETROAN, issued a statement refuting the claims made by its Public Relations Officer, Dr. Joseph Obele, that the price of petrol from NNPC was N75 higher than the N970 per litre offered by Dangote refinery. He emphasized that the NNPCL has not announced any price.
He clarified that the association’s members purchased PMS according to the previous pricing model and are currently awaiting the revised prices.
