petroleum products to other countries if the Nigerian National Petroleum
Company Limited, NNPCL and other oil marketers in the country fail to patronise
it.
The Vice President of Oil and Gas at Dangote Industries
Limited, Devakumar Edwin, made this known during an appearance on the live
broadcast of the Brekete Family Show on Monday.
Recall that the President of Dangote Refinery,
Aliko Dangote, on Tuesday announced the rollout of Petrol from the 650,000
barrels per day refinery.
He had in an earlier report said that the Premium Motor
Spirit (Petrol) from the refinery will be available in the Nigerian market in
48 hours depending on the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL.
Edwin said, “We have been exporting aviation fuel, we have
been producing kerosene, we have been producing diesel, but yesterday, we
started the production of PMS.
“So, that was the last stage. The only thing now left out is
petrochemicals.
“So, the good news for the country is we have started
producing PMS from our refinery since yesterday (Sunday).
“Well, I explained how there has been a kind of a blockade
from lifting our products within the country. The traders have been trying to
block (it), and so now we have been exporting our petroleum products. PMS, we
are ready to pump in as much as possible to the country.
“But if the traders or NNPCL are not buying the product,
obviously, we will end up exporting the PMS as we are doing with the aviation
jet and diesel.”
