DANGOTE SAYS NIGERIA WOULD NOT NEED TO IMPORT EVEN A LITRE OF FUEL BY JUNE.
The Chairman of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, says with the plan the Dangote Refinery has in place, Nigeria will not need to import premium motor spirit (PMS) by next month.
Dangote said that the refinery, which has already started supplying diesel and aviation fuel in Nigeria, has the capacity to meet the diesel and petrol needs of West Africa and the aviation fuel demand of the entire African continent.
The richest man in Africa spoke as a panelist at the Africa CEO Forum Annual Summit in Kigali.
Highlighting how far the oil company has come, Dangote expressed how they are focused in ensuring that the continent will depend less on importation in the nearest future.
