We Have Over N600bln Worth Of Petrol In Stock – Dangote
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

President of Dangote Industries Limited (DIL), Aliko Dangote has revealed that his company – the Dangote Petroleum Refinery – has enough Premium Motor Spirit (PMS otherwise known as petrol) in storage to sufficiently meet the local needs of Nigeria.

Speaking at the weekend, Dangote disclosed that the oil refinery has “more than half a billion litres of petroleum and over 600 billion Naira worth of products in its tanks.

Dangote said : “as we speak right now we have more than half a billion litres.

“The Refinery is producing enough refined products, like gasoline, diesel, and kerosene, to meet 100 per cent of Nigeria’s requirements.”

Speaking after a tour of the Refinery complex by a Zambia Government delegation, led by the country’s Minister of Energy, Mr. Makozo Chikote, Dangote stated that the refinery project, like other projects in the past, is not for Nigeria alone.

“This refinery is not only for Nigeria; it is for Africa.

“We must sustain the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) deal.

“We are trying to see how we trade with other African countries,” he said.

The Zambian Minister of Energy said his take away from the Dangote Refinery working visit was that the President, Aliko Dangote, is truly focused on the bigger picture for Africa.

Chikote, who led a delegation of energy experts to the Dangote Petroleum Refinery to partner Zambia on energy solutions, expressed satisfaction and readiness to work with the African manufacturing giant.

After a tour of the Dangote complex at the Free Trade Zone, Ibeju Lekki, starting from the Single Point Mooring to the Dangote Jetty, the biggest fertiliser plant in Africa and the 650,000bpd largest single-train refinery in the world, the Minister enthused that the presentation by the Vice President, Oil and Gas of Dangote Industries Limited, Mr. Edwin Devakumar, made their hearts “jump”.

He stated that the presentation speaks to the challenges of his country, Zambia.

The energy minister added : “In Zambia, we created an environment for the private sector to participate in the growth and development of our country.

“Currently, 100 per cent of our petroleum is done by the private sector.

“We are targeting increased productivity in mining, agriculture, and other sectors.

“Your presentation is an immediate solution to our energy needs. We are trying to promote competition among our private players.

“We are looking at Dangote coming on board, which would lead to efficient, reliable, quality, and competitive products, and we want these done like yesterday.

“Coming to the Dangote Petroleum Refinery, we have learned so many advantages of bringing many players for competition, which has improved the lives of the citizens.”

“From what we have seen, we need to promote trade within Africa to promote each other.

“We need these countries together to make Africa efficient, and a reliable trade hub.

“We have seen here that we can learn from what Dangote has done, and this would lead Africa and Africans to stand on their feet and not depend on overseas support in terms of trade.

“I believe going forward that people have learned a few lessons.

“The one lesson I have learned from this visit is that Dangote looks at the bigger picture for Africa.”

Another member of the Zambia delegation, Samuel Maimbo, the Vice President of Budget, Performance Review, and Strategic Planning at the World Bank Group, presently campaigning for the presidency of the African Development Bank (AfDB), explained that there is not enough development aid to develop Africa.

“There is also not enough government funding to develop Africa.

“The only way we can finance Africa’s growth at a pace and scale that solves our problem is by working through the private sector, which is why we are here today, to learn and to see what an ambitious programme looks like,” he stated.

He added that it is only the private sector that can help develop the continent of Africa.

The Vice President of Dangote Industries Limited, Edwin Devakumar stated that the Refinery produces the best quality products as its core business strategy.

He said : “The project concept was to process the crude from Nigeria and add value.

“But we also wanted to provide some flexibility to process most of the African crudes and some of the Middle Eastern crudes.”

Edwin said : “In another concept, what we did was maximum value extraction.

“That is a process where every barrel of crude which goes in, the value addition should be the best.”

According to Edwin, the Refinery can meet all our requirement ; 44 per cent can meet the entire requirements of Nigeria, and 56 per cent of the production would be exported.

“Every day, we produce lighter products of 104 million litres; 57 million litres of petrol every day; 20 million litres of jet fuel; and 27 million litres of diesel production.

“The local consumption is just around 46 million litres, and the remaining 58 million litres will be exported daily,” he added.
