Petroleum Oil marketers have faulted Dangote Refinery over its stance against the importation of Premium Motor Spirit (Petrol).
The President of the Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association, PETROAN, Bill Gillis-Harry, spoke in an interview on Channels Television on Monday.
According to him, no refiners, marketers or retailers have the locus standi to tell the Nigerian government to halt petrol imports.
He noted that every player in the oil and gas sector should be allowed to play freely in the industry for competition to thrive.
“I don’t think any refiner or importer or retail outlet owners have the locus to ask the Federal Government to stop attending to any part of the business.
“Every participant in the sector should be freely allowed to participate,” he said.
Recall that reports emerged that Dangote Refinery had asked an Abuja High Federal High Court to void petrol import licences to Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, and other petroleum marketers.
However, in an update, Dangote Group clarified that the case has been overtaken by events.
