Aliko Dangote has even gone public with some of his complaints about the situation.
Aliko Dangote has before now, been into the manufacturing of cement, sugar, noodles, and fertilisers, among other valuable products.
There was a geometric leap in 2023 when the country imported fuel worth $2.08bn.
He was responding to the accusation that the President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote leveled against the NNPCL.
“Let them (NNPCL) buy me out and run the refinery the best way they can,” Mr Dangote says.
The visit is the second visit to the refinery by National Assembly members this year.
Dangote Group alleged that the IOCs insisted on selling crude oil to its refinery through their foreign agents,
This, according to him, will enable the refinery to have a storage capacity of 5.3 billion litres.
The promise of Dangote to end fuel import may be a relief to marketers and Nigerians, who are yet to fully recover from the recent fuel scarcity that nearly brought the economy to a halt in Lagos, Abuja and other parts of the nation.
Mega-refinery set to transform Nigeria but questions remain over feedstock that may limit key gasoline production, at least for now
