“This initiative will help reduce pressure on the naira, eliminate unnecessary transaction costs, and improve availability of petroleum products in the country.

“Since then, the implementation committee chaired by the Hon. Minister of Finance and the technical committee have worked intensely with NNPCL and Dangote Refinery to fashion out the details of the modalities for the implementation of the FEC approval.
