…Reaffirms Commitment To High-Quality Petrol Production
BY ABU-SATAR HAMED
LAGOS, NIGERIA – Dangote Petroleum Refinery has refuted recent media reports claiming that it imports finished petrol with high sulphur content into Nigeria, describing such allegations as false, misleading, and entirely baseless.
In a statement released on Friday, October 10, 2025, the company clarified that, as a world-class complex refinery, it processes a diverse range of crude oils and intermediate feedstocks – a standard international practice designed to optimize production efficiency and enhance product quality.
The statement reaffirmed Dangote Refinery’s unwavering commitment to producing high-quality, environmentally compliant petrol that meets both Nigerian and international specifications, maintaining that the facility adheres strictly to the highest operational and environmental standards in the global oil industry.
“The cargo in question is an intermediate feedstock, not finished petrol,” the company said. “It will be fully refined in our processing units to meet both Nigerian and international quality standards.”
Operating within a Free Trade Zone, Dangote Petroleum Refinery said it refines and sells only high-quality fuels that comply with all regulatory specifications.
The company added that its exports of petroleum products to the United States and Europe, among the world’s most regulated markets, underscore its adherence to international benchmarks for quality and safety.
Dangote 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
