Dangote refinery to begin production of fuel July

The Dangote refinery has said that  premium motor spirit ( PMS) petrol production and distribution will officially begin in July 2024.

Initially, the refinery said it was going to start production in June but due to logistics issues it has been shifted till July.

The President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote told newsmen during a tour of the facility with Governor Babajide Sanwo-olu of Lagos State on Sunday that the petrol from the 650,000 barrels per day capacity refinery would be out in July.

Dangote said this was due to some minor challenges, stating that the product would be out by July 10 to 15.

“We had a bit of delay, but PMS will start coming out by 10 to 15 of July. But then we want to keep it in the tank to make sure that it settles. So by the third week of July, we’ll be able to come out to take it into the market,” Dangote had said
