Petroleum products marketers in Nigeria have declared that there was never a boycott of Dangote Refinery’s petrol.
However, Olufemi Adewole, the executive secretary, Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN) told new, there was a need to get the modalities right.
Adewole said: “The sector needs to operate transparently in a manner that allows all stakeholders to thrive and contribute significantly to the quest of ensuring availability, reliability and accessibility of petroleum products nationwide.”
He explained that petroleum marketers were still awaiting clearance from the government on the modalities regarding the offtake of petrol from the refinery.

Adewole said: “DAPPMAN, as evidenced by patronage of various products from the Dangote Refinery by its members, believes firmly in meeting Nigeria’s energy needs.
“And (DAPPMAN) remains aligned to calls for the nation not to end up in a monopoly, which will only jeopardize our economic growth and development.”
“Offtake will, in keeping with the laws of demand and supply, gravitate towards sources where products can be bought at a lower price, better quality and seamless accessibility,” he stated.
He reassured Nigerians that DAPPMAN would continue to work towards giving the nation top-notch fuel solutions while securing the sustainability of the sector.
