The President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, has presented the first sample of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), otherwise known as petrol, produced at the Dangote Oil Refinery and Petrochemicals in the Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos State.
Dangote presented the petrol sample during a broadcast at his 650,000 barrels per day refinery in Lagos on Tuesday, September 3, 2024.
The billionaire businessman assured Nigerians that the refinery will meet their demands.
He said: “I would like to salute the people of Nigeria and the government of President Bola Tinubu for giving us the platform for growth, development, and prosperity. I also want to thank him personally for creating the idea of the naira for crude. Doing that will give naira stability.
“As we have this refinery working, it will show the true consumption of Nigeria; we can track every loaded truck and ship.
“It’s a celebration day for Nigerians. Nigerians 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.
“The quality here will match that of anywhere in the world; U.S., America, we will make sure that nobody will beat us in terms of quality.”
It was earlier reported that the Dangote refinery had concluded the test production of petrol and fuel could be made available as early as this week.
