DANGOTE Refinery has reaffirmed that its diesel is of superior quality compared to imported equivalents and meets international standards.
This is coming over the recent comment of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) Chief Executive, Farouk Ahmed, that the quality of the refinery diesel is inferior to the imported products.
This newspaper reports the refinery said none of the imported diesel into Nigeria can compete with that of Dangote refinery in terms of quality and this can be confirmed by any expert who intends to test our products and those imported independently.
Dangote Group Chief Commercial Officer, Rabiu A. Umar stated this on Friday in Kano at a media chat.
“The quality of our diesel can stand the test of time anywhere in the world, we started with 600-700 PPM because it was a new plant.
“Now, our production is at 87 PPM, and by the end of August, it will be at 10 PPM.
According to him, even when the House of Representatives leadership led by the Speaker, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas visited the refinery last weekend, on their way they decided to buy diesel from two filling stations and compared with that of Dangote Refinery; they were amazed with the result of the quality of our product.
‘’ The test conducted in their presence confirmed the quality of our diesel and attest to the fact that our diesel is one of the best in the world with the low sulphur level, ‘’Umar said.
