Dangote challenges NMDPRA, tests diesel in presence of federal lawmakers

The President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, on Saturday said products refined at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals, the world’s largest single train refinery, are of superior quality compared to imported equivalents and meet international standards.

A statement by the Dangote Group on Sunday said the billionaire businessman made the remark after the leadership of the House of Representatives insisted on testing other diesel products, alongside Dangote’s diesel at the refinery’s state-of-the-art laboratory.

The statement further reads, “During a tour of both Dangote Petroleum Refinery and the Dangote Fertiliser Limited complex by members of the House of Representatives, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas and other members who observed the testing of Automotive Gas Oil (diesel) from two petrol stations alongside Dangote Petroleum Refinery, praised the company for its significant investments and contributions to Nigeria’s development.
