In a significant milestone towards achieving energy self-sufficiency, the Presidential Committee on the Sale of Crude Oil and Refined Products has announced that the loading of the first batch of petrol from the Dangote Refinery will commence on Sunday, September 15.
Zacch Adedeji, Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and a member of the committee, made the revelation during a press briefing in Abuja on Friday. Adedeji expressed his delight at the development, stating that all necessary agreements have been finalized.
The committee also resolved that diesel would be sold in Naira by the Dangote Refinery to interested off-takers, while PMS would be exclusively sold to Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL). The national oil company would then distribute the product to various marketers.
