The Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals is considering restricting the sale of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, to major oil marketers that continue to import the product, amid concerns over quality, product blending and the integrity of its brand.

The proposed restriction could take effect as early as this week, subject to further consultations and any last-minute intervention, sources familiar with the refinery’s position told Vanguard.
