The Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals says it is considering stopping the sale of petrol to major marketers that continue to import petrol into Nigeria, amid concerns over product quality and the blending of imported fuel with products supplied by the refinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed measure could take effect as early as this week, subject to further consultations and any last-minute intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The immediate concern is that some marketers are allegedly blending imported PMS with petrol purchased from the Dangote refinery before distributing the resulting product to the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The refinery is concerned that such practices could make it difficult to distinguish between products supplied directly by Dangote and products subsequently blended or handled by third parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The refinery has also raised concerns about what it called a lack of a standard laboratory and adequate quality-control infrastructure for imported petroleum products, particularly the capacity to independently verify and certify the specifications of products entering the Nigerian market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest development comes barely days after the Dangote refinery warned that rising petrol imports were forcing it to export excess stocks despite having sufficient capacity to meet Nigeria\u2019s domestic demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The refinery said imported PMS accounted for approximately 43 per cent of fuel supplied into the Nigerian market in July, saying the continued issuance of petrol import licences had created uncertainty over domestic demand and made production and inventory planning increasingly difficult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
