Dangote Refinery Products Inferior To Imported Ones; Nigeria Can't Rely On Them Alone To Avoid Monopoly – Nigerian Agency, NMDPRA

Farouk Ahmed, the Chief Executive of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has cautioned Nigerians against over-dependence on products from the Dangote refinery.

Ahmed highlighted concerns over the consistency and standardisation of the refinery's output, stating that the quality of its products was inferior compared to the imported quality products.

He addressed concerns about the nationwide supply of petroleum products and denied claims by some media outlets that they were trying to scuttle the Dangote Refinery.

He said Dangote Refinery was still in the pre-commissioning stage and had not been licensed yet. "We haven't been licensed yet," he added.

"I think we have about 45% completion. We cannot rely heavily on one refinery to feed the nation because Dangote is requesting that we suspend or stop imports, especially of AGO and DPK, and direct all marketers to his refinery.

"That is not good for the nation in of energy security, and it is not good for the market because of the monopoly.

Ahmed said that in of quality, Dangote's current AGO suffers from the lowest quality in of sulfur content, falling short of West Africa's requirement of 50 PPM.

"Dangote Refinery, along with other major refineries, produces between six hundred and fifty to one thousand two hundred parts per million (PPM). Therefore, in of quality, their products are inferior to imported ones," he said.

Made in Lagos?......How can it be superior to imported foreign fuel?

While the PH refinery only refines SABOTAGE & VANDALISM

LiarMohammed

Really? Just imagine! This is the same refinery the deadbeat mummified zombies of the Tinubu’s government have overhyped to the heavens?

Self sabotage

NNPC subsidiary,NMDPRA, calling Dangote products inferior. Nlfpmod of a truth something is wrong with Nigeria. Why are they demarketing supposed fuel saviour that will make fuel #200

The indian guy from Dangote refinery fired the first shot when he exposed the corrupt NNPCL for importing adulterated fuel into the country. Corruption must fight back. No wonder our refinery is not working.
I will advise the fool attacking Dangote to answer by making public owned refinery under them provide us with clean fuel.

May God be with Dangote refinery

The NMDPRA is a useless entity in bed with NNPCL. If Dangote fuel is bad, let them sanction him or make clean fuel available via public refinery under their corrupt asseş.

Your election losses has fucķed up your guts.
Same govt officials who cant make public refinery work. Not even one out of four is working and you expect them not to fight for their main source of income. I dont believe this evil report from those crooks in power.

Dem don start again oo

So technically what NNPC is saying is that even if dangote refinery start refining fuel, they'll still be importing it. Thus leading to a constant increase in the price.

Tt

Why why why. Why can't we get it right?

Farouk and Aliko na gambari pa fulani, ko le jo ninu. (They're both kinsmen let them continue to tackle each other)
But Farouk need to be sacked, he is talking like a confused man.

You said it's inferior yet you said we can't rely on it

Is he saying the product should be diluted ni or what?


It is like a story of a person who was given a piece of meat but he complained that it is a bone given to him, he was asked to throw it away, he said there's a little meat on it.

This type of news is not comforting at all

When I see Nigerians eulogize Dangote and hail him for building on local content, I just laughed at the level this Fulani con man has deceived so many Nigerians. when he started his cement production and the normal cliché then was the affordability of price of cement. Today, cement has gone to the roof top despite Nigeria's local capacity of that products. Today, this evil genius wants to monopolize the oil downstream sector and corner the supply chain of the crude oil by playing politics and demanding that IOCs plays to his rhythm so that he will control the price indices, thus, monopoly of supply. The evil we are fighting is Dangote, not IOCs. Even before he comes fully on stream, Nigerians are already feeling the heat of this Fulani evil manipulator. I tell you, Nigerians will pay with their teeth if Dangote succeed in his control because his monopoly of cement industry is not a palatable one

This set of people are the cabal, they don't mean well for Nigeria.

They've started again. Why can't they make our refineries work, and make it's products standard?

Beside, if our refineries are working, there won't be any major need to import crude oil products in the first place.

Jealousy

Dangote is evil, avoid him and that racist 🇮🇳Indian called Edwin. I don't even know why he had to employ that guy as the COO despite having so many young Nigerians at his disposal, knowing the fact that Indians hate black people

Shots fired

the fight is real

when your village people come out and start to perform in public. This is it.

Exclusive101:
Hopeless obidient foolish ipob clown where is one built by your entire tribe ? The Orient Petroleum Refinery Peter Pandora Obi wasted billions of Anambra funds on n commissioned over 15 years ago is yet to produce a single cup of kerosene talk more of diesel or petrol.

U made it about the Igbos? Na wa o...it is very silly of you....

Chai !

THIS WAS EXACTLY WHAT INNOSON MOTORS ED THROUGH.

NIGERIA WILL NEVER GO FORWARD, IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

This nation is a joke

There shouldn’t be any government in Nigeria if we can’t have a functional refinery. Nigerians should come out en mass to take back their country from these greedy lots feeding fat from the country’s resources!

These NNPC workers (especially the top ones) are mostly thieves who want to keep eating and making money from imported fuel business.
Dangote refinery is one of the most technologically advanced in the world.
They want to keep dumping poor quality rejected Dutch &Belgium fuels in Nigeria because that is where they make money from.
