The recent decision to ramp up operations, follows Dangote Refinery’s move to slash diesel prices in Nigeria, marking a substantial decrease from previous rates.
The recent price cut follows the commencement of operations at the Dangote Oil Refinery, a landmark achievement for Nigeria’s pursuit of energy independence.
The marketers have registered for the lifting and distribution of refined petroleum products.
Otedola congratulated Dangote on the launch of the Dangote Oil Refinery, a $20-billion project.
This comes shortly after the mega refinery received its license to refine over 300,000 barrels of Nigerian crude daily in November.
Dangote, who is the richest man in Africa, was honored for his leadership and contributions to the development of the Nigerian economy.
The recent disclosure comes amid a fuel crisis in the country and a spike in global energy prices.
Minister of State for Petroleum Resources Timipre Sylva made the announcement on Aug. 4 in Abuja.
