The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has temporarily suspended the export of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly known as petrol, in a move aimed at prioritising supplies for the Nigerian market following its recent N75 per litre price reduction.
Industry sources familiar with the development disclosed that the refinery is redirecting available petrol volumes to domestic distribution channels, a decision that could significantly improve local fuel availability and stabilise supply across the country.
