Aliko Dangote, President of the Dangote Group, revealed over the weekend that Dangote Petroleum Refinery has continued to receive repeat orders for its products from all customers who have purchased them since production began.


So far, the refinery has exported its products to a few European countries, Singapore, and the offshore Lome.

During a tour of Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals and the Dangote Fertiliser Limited complex by members of the House of Representatives, Dangote questioned why a regulatory authority, such as the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, NMDPRA, that was supposed to protect local industries was criticizing the latter and even lying in media reports to justify the need to continue importing dirty fuel into the country.



He said: “I urge you to even set up a committee that will take samples at filling stations and take our own sample because I must tell you that all the test certificates people are flaunting around are fake certificates.


“Where are the laboratories where those tests were conducted? By doing this, you will be able to tell Nigerians the very truth that they deserve to know. De-marketing of a company by a regulator that it is supposed to protect it, is very unfortunate.


“We didn’t know that you were going to ask us to stop by the road and take samples from other filling stations. I didn’t know what you wanted to do until we got here and you requested for a test.

“It is even good that it is your members that went directly to get our samples and I am sure you were shocked by the result. With the result, you can see that we produce the best diesel in Nigeria.”

Dangote also challenged the regulator, NMDPRA, to compare the quality of refined products from his refinery with those imported, while advocating an impartial assessment to determine what best served the interests of Nigerians.

“We produce the best diesel in Nigeria. It is disheartening that instead of safeguarding the market, the regulator is undermining it. Our doors are open for the regulator to conduct tests on our products anytime, transparency is paramount to us.

“It would be beneficial for the regulator to showcase its laboratory to the world so Nigerians can compare. Our interest is Nigeria first because if Nigeria doesn’t grow, we have limited capacity for growth.

Na naija go lose las las.

Dangote has international clients for his products.

A government with common sense and the interest of the masses at heart will subsidise the crude supplied to Dangote refinery, then agree the price at which the finished products would be sold to the masses.

Cheap fuel, cheap fertiliser and price of things will come down.

This is how subsidy should work. Rather than the current fraudulent model.

Walahi, saboteurs full government.

Just to let you know. The amount of money the government has spent on maintaining the refineries from 1999 till date is enough to build two brand new Dangote refineries with enough change to spare!

Wake up! See who your real enemies are.

Dangote dey show us how e be when you sabi your work!

With all these orders, na just the beginning for our local production. Make we dey support our own and watch as e dey grow!

Good job Alhaji.

But you Obidients NEVER even believed that the refinery was functional.

Because, David Hundeyin, the refugee in Ghana told you so.

Alright

That's why Tinubu don't want you to sell in Nigeria?

Nigeria is anti-business and anti-inverstment. A bad country to do any kind of business no wonder investors are running away. It can never get better

Hopeless agbadorian

Ibrahimcoomasie:

But you did not believe the refinery was functional.

Kindly dig out any of my posts where I mentioned such.

And on your edited post, why are you calling me an Obidient? I don’t give a hoot who’s in power. As long as Nigeria works for the common man, that’s fine with me!

It's so unfortunate that this is happening to an investor who is also a Nigerian. Imagine Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, NMDPRA De marketing a fellow Nigerian just for selfish interest of importing the useless fuel the have been giving Nigerians.

If it were to be in a sane country the government would have sacked that DG or MD because of his highly insensitive comment. So this simply explains why our refineries are not working. Some jobless and lazy people are making sure it doesn't work so they can make money through importing substandard product and selling it at a standard cost or more. I read the sulphur content in Dangote's product is barely below 90 ppms while the usual imported product is above 2000 ppms. How did we get to this point where investing in your country is now a mistake and yet we are wooing foreign investors watching everything play out in UHD 8k? This also explains why companies are selling their assets here and leaving.

Even if Dangote has been enjoying monopoly in Nigeria the fact remains that he is Nigerian, his projects are in Nigeria employing Nigerians etc. All the government needs to do is to support his vision and put him on check on his deliverables to Nigerians.

Lol

If you think prayers in church will save Nigeria.
You are hallucinating.., Nigerian’s problem is caused by pastors, imams and all religious leaders.

Oga please roll out your refined products.

He's setting the records straight cos the whole world is watching. So that if/when he exits, it'd be undeniable who was at fault. So his "wailing" is a strategic move.

This one dangote has been wailing like this for days now, has he become an obedient cos I thought it's only obedients that wail😀

Naija will survive the cabals

Listen some of you think because he has been benefiting from the country for centuries he should keep quiet now that a certain government is working against him . The same country where cost of living and feeding has skyrocketed more than what we can afford

You still want to defend this govt . After all the multinational companies are leaving . Okay now I pity us.

Who is selling us dirty fuel now

Dat nmdpra man really vex dangote...... Na tinubu go settle dis matter last last...... If dangote wants all importation to stop, then he must promise to sell cheap

Sense is far from u,

When we think it's getting better, stories will enter, that's Nigeria

Dangote no gree bribe Tinubu
