Dangote Petroleum Refinery has denied allegations that it is importing finished petrol with high sulphur content into Nigeria.
The company described the claims as false and misleading in a statement issued on Friday.
The refinery explained that it imports intermediate feedstocks, not finished petrol, which are then fully refined in its processing units to meet Nigerian and international quality standards.
Operating within a Free Trade Zone, Dangote Refinery said it refines and sells only high-quality fuels that comply with all regulatory specifications.
The company emphasized its commitment to transparency and accountability, stating that all imported feedstocks are accompanied by quality certificates shared with regulators. It offered to make these documents available to the public.
Dangote Refinery noted that its exports to the US and Europe, among the world’s most regulated markets, demonstrate its adherence to international quality and safety benchmarks.
The company reaffirmed its commitment to advancing Nigeria’s energy independence, maintaining global best practices, and delivering high-quality fuels for both domestic and international markets.
