The Dangote Refinery has rubbished claims that it imported high sulphur content petrol product into the country.
In a statement made available to media houses on Friday, the Dangote Refinery said there was no truth in the reports by Sahara Reporters alleging that the refinery brought in about 37,000 metric tonnes of toxic petrol from the United Kingdom aboard the vessel MT Clearocean Mary, which was billed to berth on October 9.
“The cargo in question is an intermediate feedstock, not finished petrol,” said the statement by the Dangote Refinery
“The feedstock will be fully refined in our processing units to meet both Nigerian and international quality standards,” the statement read.
The refinery, located within a Free Trade Zone, added that it produces and sells only fuels that comply with all regulatory standards, noting that its exports go to the United States and Europe.
The refinery further noted that all imported feedstocks are accompanied by quality certificates, which are transparently shared with regulators.
“We are also willing to make these documents available to the public in the interest of full transparency and accountability,” the statement added.
The company reaffirmed its commitment to advancing Nigeria’s energy independence, maintaining global best practices, and delivering cleaner, high-quality fuels for both domestic and international markets.
