“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 was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
