Aliko Dangote, chairman of Dangote Industries Limited, says petrol production was disrupted due to a fire incident that occurred at its refinery.

On May 18, Dangote said the refinery would begin producing petrol that month, adding that Nigeria would not have to import the product again.

However, on June 11, he said due to a minor delay, the commencement of petrol supply has been postponed to July.

Speaking to journalists at his refinery in Lagos on Saturday, Africa’s richest man said premium motor spirit (PMS) will be ready by August.

“PMS was supposed to be out by July but we had a fire incident,” the billionaire said.

“The incident disrupted us for a few days but latest 10 or 12 of August, PMS will be ready.”

A section of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery caught fire on June 26.

Anthony Chiejina, a spokesperson at Dangote Industries Limited, told TheCable that the incident occurred at the effluent treatment plant (ETP).

An ETP is a type of wastewater treatment method which is specifically designed to purify industrial wastewater for its reuse — to release safe water to the environment from the harmful effects caused by the effluent.

The same fire we were all told was not a major problem is now being portrayed weeks later as a major problem and used as yet another reason for why Dangote Refinery has not been able to deliver on its many promises to date. Eeeeeeeeeeee🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
