The management of Dangote Petroleum Refinery has dismissed claims that petroleum products refined at its facility are exported to Lomé, Togo, and subsequently re-imported into Nigeria.
PUNCH Online understands that recent claims online have suggested that products produced at Dangote refinery are exported to neighbouring countries and then re-imported into Nigeria.
Reacting in a statement issued via its X handle on Tuesday, the refinery’s management described the allegation as unfounded and unsupported by trade realities.
The management stated that it was compelled to respond despite its policy of not engaging with what it termed “baseless and unsubstantiated claims.”
According to the management, the allegation does not align with available trade flows, commercial logic, or the company’s business objectives.
