Officials of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery are unaware of claims that seven crude cargoes have been allocated to it in May by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited.
Senior officials at the refinery told our correspondent that, although talks were ongoing with the NNPC, they could not confirm an increase in the refinery’s monthly crude allocation from five to seven cargoes.
There were reports that the NNPC had increased crude oil supply to the Dangote refinery, allocating seven cargoes for May loading to boost domestic fuel production.
Two trader sources had told Reuters on Tuesday that the latest allocation marked an increase from the five cargoes the refinery had been receiving in previous months.
