Dangote Refinery has resumed sales of Premium Motor Spirit in naira after the intervention of the Federal Government.

This was disclosed in an email to customers sighted on Saturday.

The refinery stressed that the development followed the intervention of the Naira for Crude Technical Committee Chairman.

“Dear Valued Customer, following the intervention of the Naira for Crude Technical Committee chairman, we are pleased to inform you of the resumption of PMS sales in Naira commencing immediately.

“You may kindly proceed to place your orders in Naira for both self-collection and free delivery of PMS to the earlier advised location(s) across the country.

“Thank you for your continued patronage. Warm regards, Group Commercial Operations.

“For: Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE”, the statement reads.

The development has averted a nationwide fuel price hike.

Recall that the 650,000-barrel-per-day refinery had suspended petrol sales in naira.

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria had earlier on Saturday announced plans to hike fuel prices.
