Dangote not done with NNPC, exposes officials operating blending plant in Malta
Dangote made these revelations over the weekend during a meeting with the louse of Representatives, leadership led by Speaker Tajudeen Abbas and Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu.
Dangote emphasised that the Dangote Refinery products are far better quality than the imported ones.
“The bad fuel imported into the country has damaged many cars. I still stand by what I said. Go to filling stations, you can check the quality. That is the only way,” he stated He further claimed, “We know where they blend these things. Some of the NNPC people and some traders have opened a blending plant somewhere off Malta. We all know these areas. We know what they are doing.”Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, faces significant energy challenges, with all its state-owned refineries currently non-operational.
The country relies heavily on imported refined petroleum products, with the state-run NNPC being the major importer.
During his meeting with federal lawmakers, Dangote reiterated the importance of transparency and accountability in the oil industry.
He dismissed claims that products from his refinery are substandard and urged the green chamber to investigate the quality of diesel and petrol at filling stations across the country.
