Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>There is anxiety in Nigeria\u2019s downstream oil sector as indication emerged on Wednesday of Dangote Refinery\u2019s plan to halt supply of petroleum products loading for the Nigerian market.<\/p>\n

This comes as renegotiation of the naira-for-crude deal is not recording significant progress.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, sources familiar with the matter said the refinery will continue to load for export as it currently sources all its crude stock from the international market in dollars.<\/p>\n

However, when a news agency contacted the spokesperson of Dangote Group, Anthony Chiejina, he said he was unaware of any plan by the 650,000-per-day refinery to stop domestic supply of fuel.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI am not aware.\u201d<\/p>\n

The development comes as the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited recently confirmed its discussion with Dangote Refinery for a fresh contract on a Naira-for-crude deal.<\/p>\n

Recall that the federal government kicked off the Naira-for-crude deal sale with Dankgte Refinery in October last year.<\/p>\n

With the deal, Dangote Refinery sold to Nigerian marketers in naira because it buys crude in the local currency through NNPCL.<\/p>\n

In the past few months, the price of premium motor spirit fell to at least N860 per litre as a price war between Dangote Refinery and NNPCL kicked off.<\/p>\n
