“New Refinery to Meet Fuel Demand of Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa” – Dangote
Aliko Dangote, the President of Dangote Group, announced on Tuesday that the newly built Dangote Refinery will have the capacity to satisfy the fuel needs of both Nigeria and the broader Sub-Saharan African region.
During a press conference, Dangote emphasized that the refinery’s products would be of superior quality, capable of competing with any petroleum product globally.
The refinery, which is located in Lagos and has a capacity of 650,000 barrels per day, is set to release its first batch of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) soon.
Speaking at the event, Dangote expressed his gratitude to the Nigerian government, highlighting that their support was instrumental in making the project a reality.
“We are deeply grateful to the President and the government for their backing. Without their assistance, we wouldn’t have been able to achieve this milestone.
I believe this refinery will not only change the landscape of the oil industry in Nigeria but also have a far-reaching impact across Sub-Saharan Africa,” Dangote stated.
He further explained that the refinery’s output would comfortably meet Nigeria’s domestic fuel demand and extend its reach to other countries within the region.
“Our refinery has the capacity to meet not just Nigeria’s needs but also the demands of Sub-Saharan Africa. You can expect high-quality petrol that will improve the performance of vehicle engines and prolong their lifespan.
With this, engine problems related to poor fuel quality will be a thing of the past,” Dangote added.
He also noted that the products from the Dangote Refinery would be of the highest global standards, comparing them favourably with petroleum products from the United States and other developed countries.
It has been reported that Niger State and some northern states have come together and agreed to take down 979 forests in order to strengthen national security.
This was revealed by the Niger State Governor, represented by his deputy, Yakubu Garba, at the passing-out parade in Mutum Daya.
He also shared that the government will support in any way they can in order to achieve this and strengthen security in Nigeria.
“The state will make necessary arrangements to support and empower the Forest Guard families for their service to the nation. We will provide them with adequate healthcare insurance scheme.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
