Dangote Refutes Claims of Refinery Repairs, Calls Report False

The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has denied a report that it could shut its petrol unit for two to three months, according to the spokesman of the Dangote Group, Anthony Chiejina, who described the report as fake.

It had been earlier reported that the petrol unit at the six hundred and fifty thousand barrel-per-day Dangote refinery may be shut for two to three months for repairs, quoting industry monitor reports. However, Chiejina debunked the claims, describing them as fake news. In another development, the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas  Workers’ President, Williams Akporeha,  declared that it would still embark on strike despite the intervention of the Federal Government to address the grievances of the union, a development that could lead to fuel scarcity.
