Otedola Hails Dangote’s Refinery as a Landmark Achievement for Nigeria
In a heartfelt letter to Aliko Dangote, Nigerian business magnate Femi Otedola extended his congratulations on the first fuel shipment from the Dangote Refinery, a project that has been 25 years in the making.
Otedola praised Dangote for his resilience and determination in transforming Nigeria’s energy landscape despite setbacks.
Otedola recalled their initial joint effort in the Blue Star Consortium to acquire stakes in the Kaduna and Port Harcourt refineries.
However, their vision was thwarted when the government canceled the agreement. While the Kaduna and Port Harcourt refineries have since struggled, Otedola noted that Dangote’s refinery has emerged as a game-changer.
In his message, Otedola emphasised how Dangote’s achievement has freed Nigeria from its long-standing dependence on foreign fuel imports, highlighting how this refinery marks the end of economic reliance on foreign powers and local fuel cartels that have historically exploited the nation.
The business leader also likened Dangote’s success to his earlier transformation of the Nigerian cement industry, predicting that fuel imports will soon follow the same fate as now-defunct cement imports. He advised depot owners to adapt quickly or face obsolescence.
Otedola expressed his deepest admiration for Dangote’s unwavering vision and determination, offering warm congratulations to the entire team behind the Dangote Refinery, and hailing it as a victory for every Nigerian who dares to dream of a brighter future.
This letter comes as a resounding endorsement of the Dangote Refinery’s contribution to Nigeria’s self-sufficiency in energy production, ushering in a new era for the country.
Dangote Refinery has announced a fresh reduction in the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol.
The company, which is one of Nigeria’s leading oil producers, announced in a statement shared by its spokesperson, Anthony Chiejina, on its official X account on Thursday.
Effective immediately, Dangote Refinery has lowered the ex-depot price of petrol to N899.50 per litre, down from the previous rate of N970.
In his statement, Chiejina mentioned the company’s commitment to helping alleviate the financial burden on consumers during the holidays.
“We have now announced a new price of N899.50 per litre.
This reduction is designed to ease transport costs during the festive period,” he said.
“To alleviate transport costs during this holiday season, Dangote Refinery is offering a holiday discount on PMS.
From today, our petrol will be available at N899.50 per litre at our truck loading gantry or SPM.”
In addition to the price reduction, Dangote Refinery has introduced a new incentive to make fuel more accessible for consumers.
Chiejina explained that for every litre of petrol purchased on a cash basis, buyers will have the opportunity to acquire an additional litre on credit.
This offer is backed by a bank guarantee from Access Bank, First Bank, or Zenith Bank, providing customers with more flexible payment options.
