Three major oil marketers are expecting vessels of imported Premium Motor Spirit, popularly called petrol, this week barring any unforeseen circumstance, it was gathered on Tuesday.

Dealers said about 141 million litres of PMS are being conveyed to Nigeria by the vessels following the full deregulation of the downstream oil sector by the Federal Government.

They also noted that the recent hike in the pump prices of petrol produced by the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and released by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited on Monday had allowed room for PMS imports.
