PETROAN seeks 30% of FG’s discounted petrol for members

PETROAN, the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria, has requested that the Federal Government allocate at least 30% of its discounted petrol supply to its members. PETROAN President Billy Gillis-Harry made the appeal during an interview with Arise News following the Federal Government’s discounted petrol initiative.

Gillis-Harry argued that PETROAN’s extensive retail network could complement the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited’s distribution efforts, making the price reduction accessible to more Nigerians. The association has over 230 million Nigerians dependent on this energy, and its larger retail volume could improve distribution channels faster and more efficiently.

Gillis-Harry emphasized that PETROAN members could not afford to forgo their profit margins entirely, unlike the NNPC, which is prepared to sacrifice part of its profit under the initiative.
