Aliko Dangote, the owner of the Lagos-based refinery, discussed the imminent release and pricing of petrol from his 650,000 barrels per day facility on Tuesday.
He revealed that petrol from the refinery could reach filling stations soon after finalising arrangements with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).
“Our PMS (Premium Motor Spirit) can be in filling stations within the next 48 hours, depending on NNPCL,” Dangote stated.
“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.”
Dangote emphasised that the event marked “a celebration day” for Nigerians, reassuring citizens that they “are now going to have good petrol while the engines of your vehicles will last longer.
“You will not be having an engine issue, which a lot of us were having. It won’t happen at all.”
He further assured that the quality of petrol produced at his refinery will be world-class: “The quality here will match that of anywhere in the world; US, America, we will make sure that nobody will beat us in terms of quality.”
