Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has made startling revelations about the quality of fuel being imported into Nigeria.
During a visit by the leadership of the House of Representatives, led by Speaker Tajudeen Abbas and his deputy, Benjamin Kalu, Dangote accused some staff of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited and oil traders of operating a blending plant in Malta, Europe.

Dangote highlighted the superior quality of products produced at the Dangote Refinery compared to those imported by other marketers.
He emphasized that the substandard fuel being imported has caused significant damage to many vehicles in the country.
“I still stand by what I said. Go to filling stations, and you can check the quality. That is the only way,” Dangote stated.
“We know where they blend these things. Some of the NNPC people and some traders have opened a blending plant somewhere off Malta. We all know these areas. We know what they are doing.”
