According to the him, “This statement is both misleading and mischievous, deliberately aimed at undermining the milestone achievement recorded today, September 15, 2024, towards addressing
energy insufficiency and insecurity, which has bedeviled the economy in the past 50 years.”
The Dangote Group also said, “We urge Nigerians to disregard this malicious statement and await a formal announcement on the pricing, by the Technical Sub-Committee on Naira-based crude
sales to local refineries, appointed by His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR,
which will commence on October 1, 2024, bearing in mind that our current stock of crude was procured in dollars.” Mr. Chiejina stated.
Dangote Group in the statement added, “It should also be noted that we sold the products to NNPCL in dollars with a lot of savings against what they are currently importing. With this action, there will be petrol in every local government area of the country regardless of their remote nature.”
Dangote Refinery assured Nigerians of availability of quality petroleum product and putting an end to the endemic fuel scarcity in the country.”
