More oil marketers are joining MRS in directly lifting petroleum products from the Dangote Refinery facility, following the successful commencement of operations at the Dangote Refinery.
Two prominent players in Nigeria’s downstream oil and gas sector, Ardova Plc and Heyden Petroleum, have a bulk purchase agreement with Dangote Petroleum Refinery, according to a statement by Dangote group.
This development is expected to significantly improve fuel distribution across the country and alleviate fuel scarcity concerns.
A recent video released by a male influencer claiming to show the superiority of petrol from the Dangote refinery over that of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) has generated controversy across stakeholders in Nigeria’s downstream sector.
A video posted by @valorreviews on TikTok had shown a man using two small tiger generator, popularly called ‘I better pass my neighbour generator’ in Nigeria,’ to compare the running time of MRS and NNPC PMS, also known as petrol.
The video claimed that Dangote-refined petrol sold by MRS Oil lasts longer than the PMS available at NNPC stations and, in addition, more affordable.
He then tested both fuels in identical new generators, noting that the NNPC-sourced fuel lasted 17 minutes, while the Dangote fuel ran for 33 minutes.
The video quickly gained attention, with many Nigerians sharing similar experiences regarding fuel quality from different suppliers.
