Aliko Dangote, President of the Dangote Group, has clarified why the first sample of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, produced at his refinery appeared clearer than the petrol currently available in the market.
During a broadcast at his refinery in the Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos State, Dangote emphasized that the clearer petrol is more environmentally friendly and could help mitigate health problems linked to polluted petroleum products.
He also pointed out that this new, clearer petrol would better protect engines from damage often caused by the lower-quality, unclear petrol typically found in circulation.
He said, “This is the sample of the petrol. You see it as a different colour but that is the real deal. You are now going to have a good and real product.”
Speaking further on the color of the diesel produced at his refinery, he stated, I am sure Nigerians have not seen this colour of diesel before,” Dangote stated. “This is called Euro-5 diesel. It contains less than 10 parts per million (PPM) of sulfur. This will help vehicles, engines, and generators last longer.”
He further stressed, “The health of the people and the environment will not be compromised. This is the real deal.”
