The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has filed a new lawsuit against Nigeria’s Attorney General in a bid to overturn fuel import licences issued to marketers and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited.
The PUNCH reports that the NMDPRA recently issued six licences to marketers for the importation of petrol, saying imported fuel is necessary to complement domestic supplies.
Court documents seen by Reuters show that the case sought to nullify import permits issued to the NNPC and several traders.
It could be recalled that Dangote had in 2025 withdrawn a similar case against the NNPC and other marketers after the intervention of the Federal Government.
