PETROAN reveals plan to ensure stable petrol prices for Nigerians

The Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria, PETROAN has said retailers want to build petrol price certainty for Nigerian consumers.

The spokesperson of PETROAN, Joseph Obele, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday after visiting the Azikel domestic refinery.

PETROAN noted that Nigeria can no longer rely on foreign refineries to convert crude oil into the fuels on which the economy runs.

Commenting on the development, the National President of PETROAN, Billy Gillis-Harry, said, “As retailers, we want to build practical partnerships with indigenous refineries that can improve product availability, strengthen supply chains and create greater certainty for businesses and consumers.”
