Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Chairman of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote has offered to sell his $20 billion Dangote Refinery to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited amid challenges.<\/p>\n

Dangote made this known in an interview with Premium Times on Sunday.<\/p>\n

According to him, it was unfair to label him as being a monopolist despite Dangote Refinery\u2019s efforts aimed at solving the country\u2019s fuel importation problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis refinery can help in resolving the problem but it does appear some people are uncomfortable that I am in the picture.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I am ready to let go, let the NNPC buy me out, and run the refinery. At least the country will have high-quality products and create jobs,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He was speaking amid the recent statement by the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority that petroleum products from the Dangote refinery were inferior.<\/p>\n

Ahmed had also said it was risky to make Dangote Refinery a monopoly, especially for Automotive Gas Oil and Dual Purpose Kerosene, DPK.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dangote had earlier on Saturday dismissed Ahmed\u2019s statement on his products being inferior while he called for an independent test.<\/p>\n
