Dangote Calls On Reps To Probe Quality Of Petrol, Diesel At Filling Stations

The President of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote has called on the House of Representatives to investigate the quality of diesel and petrol at filling stations.

Dangote made the call on Saturday when he received the leadership of the House led by Speaker Tajudeen Abbas and his deputy, Benjamin Kalu.

The CEO urged the House to set up a committee to test products at various filling stations across the country.

He also said he was open to independent testing of his refinery’s products as that would only attest to their quality while exposing the problem with some of the products being sold by other players in the sector.

The management of Dangote Refinery has complained in recent months about what they say is an attempt by international oil companies (IOCs) to sabotage the refinery. It has also decried what it says is the importation of substandard products.

In turn, the refinery has been accused of essentially pushing for a monopoly.

Meanwhile, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, led the lawmakers who arrived at the refinery located in the Lekki Free Trade Zone in Lagos around 11 am.

He was in company with Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu and Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere and had a tour of the 650,000 barrels per day refinery.
