Nigerian business tycoon, Femi Otedola, has expressed happiness over the lifting of petrol from the Dangote refinery by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL).
Recall that reports about the lifting of petrol from the 650,000 barrels-per-day refinery would commence on Sunday, 15 September 2024.
No fewer than 300 trucks from the national oil firm arrived at the refinery, located in the Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos State, to lift the first batch of petrol.
Reacting to the development via a post on his X handle on Sunday, Otedola described the lifting of petrol from the Dangote refinery as a relief for Nigerians and commended President Bola Tinubu for making it a reality.
According to the businessman, the Dangote refinery will put an end to the incessant petrol queues in Nigeria.
He wrote, “Kudos to President Tinubu for making this a reality! Fuel queues are now a thing of the past as Dangote Refinery starts loading PMS today Sunday 15 September 2024… F.Ote 💲.”
