Aliko Dangote, President of Dangote Group, has officially presented the inaugural batch of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, from the Dangote Refinery.
The presentation took place on Tuesday via a broadcast at the refinery location in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State.
Notably, the 650,000-barrels-per-day refinery successfully conducted a test run, producing the first sample of petrol.
“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.
He also said that his refinery will meet the demands of not only Nigerians but also sub-Saharan Africa.
