Dangote Refinery is set to roll out its first shipment of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, today, Tuesday, September 3, Nairametrics has confirmed.
The refinery, with a capacity of 650,000 barrels per day, has successfully completed its testing phase and is now ready to introduce its products to the local market.
This development is anticipated to provide much-needed relief to Nigerians who have been grappling with severe petrol shortages in various towns and cities across the country.
Insider sources stated that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited will be the initial purchaser of Dangote’s products, with NNPC officials already stationed at the Lagos petrochemical plant to take delivery.
Nairametrics also confirmed that Aliko Dangote, the CEO of the refinery, is present at the plant today to witness the grand unveiling of the petroleum products following months of delays and glitches.
It’s worth noting that Nairametrics reported on Monday that NNPC is expected to be the exclusive buyer of Dangote’s products due to its current challenges in meeting international debt obligations to global oil traders. (Nairametrics)
