Femi Otedola, prominent Nigerian businessman, has praised President Bola Tinubu for facilitating the commencement of petrol lifting from the Dangote refinery.
In a statement on his X handle, Otedola expressed delight at the development, saying, “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.”
The Dangote refinery, located in the Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos State, began lifting petrol on Sunday, 15 September 2024, with over 300 trucks arriving to transport the first batch.
This milestone marks a significant step towards addressing Nigeria’s fuel challenges, and Otedola’s commendation of President Tinubu highlights the government’s role in making the project a reality.
With the Dangote refinery’s production capacity, Nigerians can expect a reduction in fuel scarcity and queues, bringing relief to citizens who have long suffered from fuel shortages.
