• Low queue as IPMAN, MEMAN say supply below expectations
• Dangote debunks shortfall claim, insists supply on track
Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), yesterday, said the Dangote Refinery is unable to supply the nation with over 65 million litres of Petroleum Motor Spirit (PMS), stressing that only 10.3 million litres have been received from the facility.
The development, The Guardian gathered, may return the country to importation to bridge the shortfall.
But the Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer, Dangote Group, Anthony Chiejina, refuted NNPCL’s claim of shortfall.
“This is outright falsehood. We load as the trucks arrive,” Chiejina said while expressing limitations on the immediate provision of the data on what the refinery supplied the country.
Dangote Refinery was expected to provide the NNPCL with 25 million litres per day in September and 30 million litres in October. Loading started at the facility on Sunday, September 15.
The spokesperson of NNPCL, Olufemi Soneye, told The Guardian that only 10.3 million litres of PMS had been received from the company.
“As of yesterday, we have received approximately 10.3 million litres. We are facing a shortfall of about 65 million litres. The plan was to receive 25 million litres per day,” Soneye said.
He disclosed that the company would decide on how to manage the shortfall.
“We must ensure energy security for the country, as this is a legal requirement under the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA). As a responsible company, we are committed to addressing these issues,” Soneye said.
