Oil marketers in Nigeria may begin importing petrol following a statement by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) that it will only purchase petrol from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery if international market prices exceed Nigeria’s pump prices. This is contrary to previous claims by Dangote that NNPCL would be the sole off-taker of its petrol. Marketers now plan to source petrol from the most cost-effective suppliers, be it through importation or local purchases, amid ongoing delays in negotiations between Dangote and NNPCL.
