Business mogul, Aliko Dangote has officially announced the commencement of petrol production at the Dangote Refinery.

Speaking on Tuesday, in a broadcast at his 650,000-capacity refinery, which engaged in a test run of the product, Dangote presented the first sample of Premium Motor Spirit, otherwise known as petrol.

He expressed his gratitude to President Tinubu for permitting the sale of crude oil in Naira with shipping expected to commence by weekend barring any last-minute hitches.

“You might see it as a different colour, but that’s the real thing. So, you are now going to have good petrol where the engines of your vehicles will last longer. You will not be having an engine issue, which a lot of us were having. It won’t happen at all. The quality here will match that of quality anywhere in the world…we will make sure that nobody will beat us in terms of quality.

“I would like to salute the people of Nigeria and the government of President Bola Tinubu for giving us the platform for growth, development, and prosperity. I also want to thank him personally for creating the idea of the Naira for crude. Doing that will give Naira stability.

“As we have this refinery working, it will show the true consumption of Nigeria; we can track every loaded truck and ship

“As soon as we finalise with the NNPC, our products will start going into the market,” he said
