Management of Dangote Industries Limited, DIL, has accused International Oil Companies in Nigeria of doing everything to frustrate the survival of Dangote Oil Refinery and Petrochemicals.
According to him:"While the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission are trying their best to allocate the crude for us, the IOCs are deliberately and willfully frustrating our efforts to buy the local crude. It would be recalled that the NUPRC, recently met with crude oil producers as well as refineries owners in Nigeria, in a bid to ensure full adherence to Domestic Crude Oil Supply Obligations , as enunciated under section 109 of the Petroleum Industry Act .
This is exploitation - pure and simple. Unfortunately, the country is also playing into their hands by continuing to issue import licences, at the expense of our economy and at the cost of the health of the Nigerians who are exposed to carcinogenic products. It is sad that the country is giving import licences for such dirty diesel to be imported into Nigeria, when we have more than adequate petroleum refining capacity locally..."
"For far too long, toxic fuels have been departing from Belgium to destinations including Africa. They cause extremely poor air quality in countries such as Ghana, Nigeria, and Cameroon and are even carcinogenic," said Khattabi.
