Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association of Nigeria says it has signed a deal to begin distributing Dangote refinery’s premium motor spirit.
According to the National President of PETROAN, Billy Gillis-Harry, the association will now begin the distribution of Dangote refinery’s PMS nationwide, and that the agreement will end price disparity at filling stations.
“PETROAN sealed a partnership with Dangote/MRS for greater and more efficient petroleum distribution nationwide. By this agreement reached today, Nigerians will henceforth get the best value for money paid for the purchase of PMS, and the era of price disparity will be a thing of the past, even as consideration for the cost of transportation is inclusive in the scheme,” he said.
Gillis-Harry described the agreement as a show of love from Dangote refinery, in conjunction with PETROAN, to Nigerians.
He encouraged Nigerians to be optimistic that better days are ahead.
