The Group Chief Commercial Officer at Dangote Industries Limited, Rabiu Umar has said the Nigerian government neglected Dangote Refinery to export crude oil to Indonesia and import finished products from the same country. Umar disclosed this in an interview with Channels Television on Monday monitored by DAILY POST.
He stated this is coming despite the 650,000 barrels per day Dangote refinery's inability to get adequate crude oil supply in Nigeria . 'Whilst we are going to import cargoes abroad. Most of the cargo from Nigeria is sold to Indonesia . So the question is, does it make sense to take cargo from Nigeria to sell to Indonesia and then you are also importing the same finished product to Nigeria ? It does not make sense to me', he said.
He, however, reiterated that Dangote Refinery will commence the domestic supply of fuel in August 2024. The development comes amid the recent impasse between the Dangote Refinery and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority over substandard products. Recall that last week, Farouk Ahmed, the Chief Executive Officer of NMDPRA stated that Dangote products were inferior.
