Dangote used the occasion to reiterate the company’s Vision 2030 strategy, aimed at transforming Dangote Group into a $100 billion enterprise by 2030.
This move follows the withdrawal of the same petition from the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
The ICPC has asked Mr Dangote to submit his evidence to the anti-graft agency, and the commission is expected to be fair to all parties involved.
The refinery recently announced a significant reduction in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to ₦699 per litre.
The association also expressed delight over a recent agreement by the Dangote Petroleum Refinery to supply petrol directly to registered IPMAN members.
The only proof that Ahmed was not removed to save the system is that he should be investigated so that he can either clear his name or face the consequences.
“…I am aware of the wild and spurious allegations made against me and my family…,” said NMDPRA chief Farouk Ahmed.
Mr Dangote had on Sunday accused the NMDPRA chief of economic sabotage and corruption, saying it was undermining domestic oil refining in Nigeria.
Mr Dangote had urged ICPC to arrest, investigate, and prosecute Mr Ahmed for allegedly living far beyond his lawful means as a public servant.
Mr Dangote alleged that NMDPRA’s CEO was living above his means and challenged the federal government to investigate his claim.
