Dangote refinery has denied fixing petrol price at N600 per litre.
Dangote Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer, Mr. Anthony Chiejina, made the denial in a statement on Tuesday.
The company said it was reacting to a report in a newspaper (not FrontPage), that marketers projected N600 per litre for Dangote Petrol.
The company urged the public to desist from such speculative announcements, saying it had its official channels through which it made its views known to its stakeholders.
The company said the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, was not its business partner yet.
