President of Dangote Industries Limited, Aliko Dangote, has assured Nigerians of adequate Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) supply during the festive season.

The industrialist gave the assurance while announcing the expansion of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery from 650,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 1.4 million barrels per day.

According to him, prices of petrol will not be hiked during the ember months, despite recent global price increases.

Dangote emphasised that the refinery has already made a difference by stabilising local fuel supply, helping to strengthen the naira, and preventing capital flight.

He emphasised that Nigeria’s pump price remains among the lowest in the region despite the refinery’s production of higher-quality, cleaner fuels that have reduced toxic dumping in the country.

Dangote praised the Federal and Lagos State Governments for their continued support, along with the company’s host community in Lekki and its financial and technical partners.
