He said that Dangote Refinery has concluded plans to start
the refining of diesel and aviation fuel by Mid- January 2024, adding that the
refining of Premium Motor Spirit, PMS will follow later.
According to him, the refinery has the capacity to meet 100
percent of Nigeria’s domestic demand for gasoline, diesel, kerosene, aviation
jet as well as export to the global market.
He said the coming on stream of the refinery will create
many multiplier effects, especially jobs, suppliers, capacity building,
empowerment and technology transfer to Nigerians.
The Chairman of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, had earlier
confirmed that the refinery will fully come on stream, processing 650, 000
barrels per day by the end of 2024.
He had said: “We do not want to start our refinery with
foreign goods; we want to start with Nigerian crude. We’re more than ready and
you will see our gasoline products soon.”
