Dangote Rejects Claims Of Monopoly, Substandard Products At Refinery

The President of the Dangote Group has called on the House of Representatives to investigate the quality of diesel and petrol at filling stations.
Dangote made the call on Saturday when he received the leadership of the House led by Speaker Tajudeen Abbas and his deputy Benjamin Kalu.
To carry out the investigation, he urged the House to set up a committee to test products at various filling stations across the country.

I don't care what anyone thinks about him. He could be investing elsewhere but he is doing it here at home in Nigeria. I respect him so much for that

[@worduchinuru6929]

And you think a business man as such has no advantage setting it up here?, you really think it’s because he wants to help the country?😂. Oga is speaking to attract sympathy, he mentioned lafarge but also failed to mention how IBETO was knocked out to give him that edge too. Well I don’t think anyone is frustrating the refinery, it’s just that anything that has to do with oil and gas must meet global standards.

[@sky-arrows]

His gain is ×10 for over 15 years there was no other than Dangote cement, sugar, solt now is oil u better wake up

[@sammie4989]

[@kelechiamadi9553]

Dangote should be protected by the Nigerian government, if there are issues, they should sit and discuss it, not discrediting Dangote in public and it is turning out to be false. I know Dangote is a business man, he is here for the money and not charity, but he is also helping us solve a long-standing problem. He is a national hero. Moreso, if it was some Lebanese company, FG would have given them more support.

[@bibianezeugonna-igwe4085]

[@ehisgeorge414]

He didn't cry when he strangulated the cement industry and refused to support the ordinary man housing dreams. Even if the refinery work, his product will not favor anyone except himself. How do start a project without carrying out efficient details up to 98% of the source the raw materials.

[@V20758]

Why not start your own company and fix all those problems yourself genius ​@@ehisgeorge414

[@ekusondebango3568]

But he is the king of monopoly which is a bad word in the West and elsewhere. Monopolists set their own prices because there ain't a competition.

[@AbdulSule-m9l]

Without Dangote in Nigeria dollars to Naira will be almost 3k per dollars by now. When Dangote refinery succeed we won't need to ship all our oil on credit to the west to refine and sell to us. If Dangote fails the whole of Africa will suffer from his failure.

[@sydneychukwukelu]

[@afrobest3007]

Right now NIGERIA is happening to Alhaji Dangote. If Dangote is a foreigner he would have left Nigeria by now. It's so sad how fast Nigeria is being destroyed.

[@michaeloretuyi1538]

Dangote should be encouraged. What would anyone gain by frustrating his efforts?

[@azeeztawo8171]

That is the question for Tinubu and his government. But we know what they stand to gain, personal enrichment

That’s why foreign companies are leaving. If you refuse to do things their way in Nigeria, they will create problems for you and make sure you quit. Majority of our problems are self-induced.

At this Point, my suggestion is that we all join hands and push this man further! Call him whatever you like, this man is 2.6 billion times better than all our politicians combined!

[@victorduruji2046]

Please, this government must support this initiative. Those people that have been frustrating the functioning of our local refineries are scheming against him.

[@V20758]

Exactly. Nigerians should be wiser than this

[@TomiwaAdegbola]

My heart sink with the problems Dangote Group keep facing in its home country just to deliver excellence for the country. No country all over the world can be great without its billionaires and businesses, government do not make a country great, businesses does. Dangote is suppose to enjoy all the support from government, the public and everybody. This is our own, we have to support it. We cannot continue to be a country that does not want its local business to thrive. hate or like dangote, the questions is that will Nigeria be a better country with him or without him?

[@12345618180]

He was a problem to Nigerians for years.. how is bag of cement when 80% of the materials is local.. lot of politicians looted our treasury and kept the money under Dangote.... he's getting a piece of his wickedness from an evil goverment of thiefnubu

[@Chefingaround1]

It's important to acknowledge that Nigeria's economic landscape would be significantly bleaker without the contributions of visionary entrepreneurs like Aliko Dangote. Unfortunately, the country's treatment of its most talented minds can be discouraging to aspiring entrepreneurs. Let's recognize the impact of our nation's business leaders and work towards creating a more supportive environment that fosters innovation and growth.

[@conradsunkiojack7428]

You don't, refuse or can't know what you're talking about. In short you don't know Nigeria.

[@Da_Champion]

Shut up quietly here. Dangote is the evil here. What happened to Cement production that he monopolize and jack up the price. He can't do the same in oil and gas sector. It's bigger than him.

[@hillarynnaemekaekeh6263]

Dangote is a great guy. It takes a lot to build a business whether in Nigeria or outside. He is doing well whether in Nigeria or outside.

[@sanusibello32]

This man looks exhausted, IOCs are really dealing with him.

[@williamsaharuna1893]

Indirectly dealing with Nigerians too

[@Peace-br6qm]

Please, there is no IOC. His problem is in Aso Rock.

[@idiaidia6082]

It's not IOC . It's Tinubu, he is a threat to our collective security. Unfortunately, the North was largely beclouded by ethnic sentiment in the last election.

[@aipboess7138]

His greatest enemy is fellow Nigerians. Listen to what the Chairman of AIRPEACE said about the regulatory authorities. Very sad.

[@Peace-br6qm]

@aipboess7138 Aso Rock is the problem. When the president and his family aren't corrupt, then ministers and other political appointees will instantly know it's no longer business as usual.

[@festusigiewe2914]

Why are we surprised foreign investors are rushing to exit Nigeria?

[@vicoakp]

But Chinese are still doing business..... ????

[@abimolabinjo2123]

Dangote has provided a detailed and polite response to the regulatory body. The regulatory body appears to be doing a hatchet job on this simple man. He has provided an open door for negotiation by not swinging or accusing anyone. He has politely invited them to come and test his production unannounced. It’s up to Nigeria now to support this man. We still remember the indigenisation decree of Obasanjo that helped Nigeria businesses in his first coming. Dangote is a patriot and should be supported

[@lawrenceemuejevokeoghwere7922]

[@opeoluwaonanuga1861]

If all these is true, then what happens to all the support the government claimed to have given this man? He said they are at 80ppm, a government official said almost if not over 1000ppm. Why will a government official come openly to say Dangote's oil is inferior to the imported ones? It is obvious, many people that are reaping windfall at the expense of Nigeria won't allow this refinery function. We can all see why all our refineries are not working despite pumping billions of dollars into them. It's well with Nigeria.

[@akiodeeboh7026]

As in take advantage of what he is doing, because that is how we grow together. Seriously love this man's spirit and ability to take risks despite all the disadvantages of Nigeria system, and this is coming from a Ghanaian living in Ghana. Please the media interrogate whatever he says, but at the same time, push the brand out there.

The petrol regulator said that they are producing shitty products, how can they export their products if his home country is saying all these horrible things about him. Weird.
