Oil Marketers Will Pay Nigerian Naira For Dangote Refinery Fuel – IPMAN

Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, Monday, clarified that refined petroleum products from the $20bn Dangote Petroleum Refinery are to be sold in naira and not in the U.S. dollar as speculated in some quarters.

BrandNewsDay reports that dealers in the downstream oil sector also stated that the registration process for marketers at the refinery was still ongoing, as many operators had continued to register with the plant.

It was further gathered that officials of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority were meeting with the management of the refinery to perfect the pricing template for products produced by the facility.

This is a big day for Nigeria. We are delighted to have reached this significant milestone.

So far, members of three prominent associations, that constitute 75 per cent of the total market in Nigeria have been registered. The associations are the Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN), the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, (IPMAN), and Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria, (MOMAN).

The company is also considering other marketers that have signified interest in the lifting and distribution of its petroleum products in the country.
