Refinery ready to supply petrol within 48 hours, Dangote says
Dangote Refinery boss Aliko Dangote has announced that petrol will be available at his facility within 48 hours.
The business mogul disclosed this on Tuesday at a press briefing to announce the inaugural rollout of fuel from its $20 billion refinery in Lagos.
According to Mr Dangote, modalities are being formalised with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited before petrol produced at the 650,000 barrels per day facility is supplied to the market.
Mr Dangote said, “Our PMS can be in filling stations within the next 48 hours, depending on NNPCL.”
Mr Dangote said the product’s pricing from his refinery “is an arrangement which is designed and approved by the Federal Executive Council led by His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
“As soon as it is finalised, which he (Tinubu) is pushing, once we finish with NNPC, it can be today. It can be tomorrow. We are ready to roll into the market,” he revealed.
