• Marketers await company’s product price list
• Diesel, aviation fuel available by month’s end

President of the Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote has expressed appreciation to President Bola Tinubu for his vision and which he said encouraged him to embark on the Dangote Refinery project some years back.

The refinery formally took off on Friday with the production of diesel and aviation fuel.

Speaking with stakeholders in the oil and gas industry on the historic start of domestic refining of petroleum products that will eliminate dependence on importation of refined products in the country, Dangote recalled the , encouragement, and thoughtful advice he got from President Tinubu towards the actualisation of the refinery project.

“This production, as witnessed today, would not have been possible without his (Tinubu’s) visionary leadership and prompt attention to detail,” Dangote said.

He added: “His intervention at various stages cleared all impediments, thereby accelerating the actualisation of the project.”

The Group Head, Corporate Communications, Dangote Group ,Mr Anthony Chiejina quoted Dangote as saying the diesel and aviation fuel from the refinery would be available at the stands within the next two weeks.

Dangote said: “We have started the production of diesel and aviation fuel, and the products will be in the market before the end of the month.

“This is a big day for Nigeria. We are delighted to have reached this significant milestone.

“This is an important achievement for our country as it demonstrates our ability to develop and deliver large capital projects.

“This is a game changer for our country, and I am very fulfilled with the actualisation of this project.

“The refinery has so far received six million barrels of crude oil at its two SPMs located 25 kilometres from the shore.

“The first crude delivery was done on Dec. 12, 2023, and the 6th cargo was delivered on Jan. 8, 2024,” he added.

He said that the refinery can load 2,900 trucks a day at its truck-loading gantries.

He added that the products from the refinery will conform to Euro V specifications.

Dangote boss said that the refinery design complies with the World Bank, US EPA, European emission norms, and Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) emission/effluent norms. State-of-the-art technology.

He also acknowledged the of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd., the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) and Nigerians for their and belief in the historic project.

“These organisations have been our dependable partners in this historic journey,” he said.

The National President of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Alhaji Abubakar Maigandi, told The Nation by phone yesterday that of the association could not wait to have the price list of all the products.

“We want to know Dangote petroleum products prices. We will request the list so that we can give it to our ,” Maigandi said.

He also said the association was pressing for allocation of the products to independent marketers from the refinery.

Instead of you to thank South south wey dash you millions of crude barrel at cheapest rate you’re busy thanking Tinubu that doesn’t know his left from right




Oga carry your thanking go another place

You dey thank us like say you get good intentions for ordinary Nigerians




You lobbied with government to shut down BUA cement because he wanted to sell for 3500



Your Cement in Nigeria is 6000




While you sell same cement in Ghana for 3100




You’re the richest Blackman alive but Kano that’s your state of origin is the poverty capital

A country rich in human and natural resources, took 63+ years to build a functional refinery.

If this works, it is one more step to our INDEPENDENCE FROM BRITAIN (I am skeptical if we are really independent).

Dangote refinery success might reshapes the energy & economic future of the nation

My apologies for the shameless promotion of the above brief video.

Whatever is good needs effort and prayers!
God bless BAT and Dangote!

Bad news is for whoever wishes Nigeria ill.
Very soon other refineries will come in.
Other industries too would come!

We would start exporting fuel out of Nigeria!

FX will gain inshaa Allah!

No.
With the massive 650,000 capacity refinery, It shouldn't cost more than #5 per litre by December

This is a welcome development as long as prices of pms and other products reduce.

The only downside is the air pollution in that area. I saw the flames from the refinery yesterday. I was like 20km to the refinery.

I just hope this refinary helps in turning things around in Nigeria a bit.

If d price no drop then it was all for nothing but just for them pocket

One of the area this dangote refinery would greatly impact is the FX market.

Better late than never

Yeah, all it took was a visit from the EFCC to speed up the process that all the forex pumped in by Emefiele's CBN could not!

As a nation, we will begin to see the impact of these shortly. If you guys know the stress importation of petroleum products have on our foreign reserves, we will be grateful.

Dangote oil cannot be as expensive as imported ones, i am still waiting for someone to explain otherwise.

Cost of production have significantly increased over the years due to high cost of diesel, airlines spend a huge chunk of their profits on aviation fuel, indeed this is a welcome development.

Ddd

Let's see the impact on the economy.

Great development

No be thank you for mouth ooo people don see shege for this economy
Make this refinery help us oo price of goods nah 3X
Dollar worst sef
But at the end e go just be that dangote no send anybody see ordinary cement that the local material is sourced here he sold it more costly to we Nigerian than the neighboring countries
