The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) on Thursday said the 650,000 barrels per day Dangote refinery is still at the pre-commissioning stage and has not yet been licensed.
The NMDPRA Chief Executive, Farouk Ahmed, disclosed this while speaking to the state house correspondents on Thursday.
Mr Ahmed said the allegations raised by the refinery that its operations are being scuttled owing to a lack of supply of crude oil by International Oil Companies (IOCs) are untrue.
