Dangote Refineries to Supply 150,000 IPMAN Stations

 The Dangote Petroleum Refinery plans to supply fuel to about 150,000 retail outlets operated by the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria following a meeting between the refinery's management and IPMAN executives.

IPMAN President, Abubakar Maigandi, did confirm in a statement when contacted that the association had met with the management of the refinery, adding that the latter had agreed to supply products to the over 30,000 members of IPMAN.

This is coming as it was further gathered that the regulator of the downstream oil sector was currently examining the refined products from the refinery before the facility would be approved to dispense fuel to the market.

The refinery management has also confirmed that seven major oil marketers in Nigeria have registered with the refinery for the lifting and distribution of refined petroleum products produced by the $20bn plant.

Dealers under the aegis of the Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria also confirmed on Sunday that with the registration, they would commence the distribution of fuel produced from the facility once the commercial terms were sorted.

The seven major marketers include 11 Plc, Conoil Plc, Ardova Plc, MRS Oil Nigeria Plc, OVH Energy Marketing Limited, Total Nigeria Plc and NNPC Retail.

Similarly, the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria had also stated that PETROAN was engaging the management of the multi-billion dollar refinery for the supply of products from the facility.

On January 12, 2024, the Dangote Petroleum Refinery announced that it had commenced the production of Automotive Gas Oil, popularly called diesel, and JetA1 also known as aviation fuel.
