Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) also known as diesel and Jet A-1 fuel popularly known as Aviation fuel refined by Africa’s largest refinery, Dangote Refinery, has hit the Nigerian domestic market, sources familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.
The head of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Abubakar Maigandi, told Reuters that local oil marketers set the price at N1,225 n ($0.96) per litre for diesel after securing a bulk purchase agreement.
He said the association’s members control about 150,000 retail stations across Nigeria.
