In a historic milestone, the Dangote Refinery has successfully produced its first batch of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol.
The presentation was made by Aliko Dangote, President of Dangote Group, during a broadcast on Tuesday at the refinery located in the Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos State.
The 650,000-capacity refinery conducted a test run of the product, marking a significant achievement in Nigeria's quest for self-sufficiency in fuel production.
Dangote expressed gratitude to the Nigerian government and President Bola Tinubu for their support, citing the introduction of the Naira for crude initiative as a key factor in the refinery's success.
“I would like to salute the people of Nigeria and the government of President Bola Tinubu for giving us the platform for growth, development, and prosperity. I also want to thank him personally for creating the idea of the Naira for crude. Doing that will give Naira stability. As we have this refinery working, it will show the true consumption of Nigeria; we can track every loaded truck and ship,” he said
The Dangote Refinery is expected to meet the fuel demands of Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa. The refinery's operations will also enable accurate tracking of fuel consumption in Nigeria.
