The Management of Dangote Petroleum Refinery has again denied the reports alleging that it is importing dirty and high-sulfur finished petrol (PMS) into the country, describing the reports as false, malicious, and misleading.
According to a statement made available to TheFact Daily on Friday, the Management of the refinery revealed that it processes a range of crude oils and intermediate feedstocks, which is a standard global practice aimed at optimising production and quality.
It clarified that the cargo in question was an intermediate feedstock, not finished petrol, and would be fully refined in its units to meet Nigerian and international quality standards.
As a world-scale refinery complex, operating within a Free Trade Zone, the statement affirms that Dangote Refinery refines and sells only high-quality fuels that are compliant with all regulatory specifications. “…Our exports of petroleum products to the United States and Europe, among the world’s most regulated markets, underscore our adherence to global benchmarks.”
The refinery also revealed that all its imports are accompanied by quality certificates and shared transparently with regulators. “Dangote Petroleum Refinery is also willing to make these documents available to the public in the interest of full transparency and accountability.”
It assured the stakeholders that it is fully committed to advancing Nigeria’s energy independence, upholding the highest standards of quality and transparency, and delivering cleaner fuels for Nigeria and beyond.
