Dangote Petroleum Refinery has dismissed reports claiming it imported finished petrol with high sulphur content into Nigeria, describing the allegations as false and misleading.
An online publication, Sahara Reporters, had alleged that the refinery was bringing in high-sulphur petrol from the United Kingdom aboard the vessel MT Clearocean Mary, which it said was scheduled to arrive at the refinery’s offshore facility on October 9, carrying about 37,000 metric tonnes of petrol with a sulphur content of 690 parts per million.
But in a statement on Friday, the refinery clarified that the shipment in question was not finished petrol but an intermediate feedstock, a material used in refining processes to produce high-quality fuels.
“The cargo in question is an intermediate feedstock, not finished petrol.
“The feedstock will be fully refined in our processing units to meet both Nigerian and international quality standards,” the statement read.
The refinery, located within a Free Trade Zone, added that it produces and sells only fuels that comply with all regulatory standards, noting that its exports go to the United States and Europe.
The 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.
