Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals has filed a lawsuit against the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) at the Federal High Court, Abuja, and demanded N100 billion in damages.

The management of the refinery sued NMDPRA for issuing import licenses to Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Matrix Petroleum Services Limited, AA Rano Limited, and four other companies to import petroleum products like Diesel and JET AI Fuel.

In the suit, the operators of the N20 billion refinery asked the court to void the import licenses granted to the defendants for diesel and jet fuel importation.
