Aliko Dangote, President of Dangote Group, has clarified why the initial sample of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, from his new refinery appears clearer than the petrol currently available in the market.
In a broadcast from his refinery in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State, Dangote explained that the clearer petrol is designed to be more environmentally friendly and to mitigate health issues linked to polluted petroleum products.
He emphasized that this new fuel would also better protect engines from damage commonly caused by less refined petrol.
“This is the sample of the petrol.
You see it as a different color, but that is the real deal.
You are now going to have a good and real product,” Dangote said.
He also discussed the color of the new diesel, stating, “I am sure Nigerians have not seen this color of diesel before.
This is called Euro-5 diesel.
It contains less than 10 parts per million (PPM) of sulfur, which will help vehicles, engines, and generators last longer.”
Dangote reassured that the new products would not compromise public health or the environment, declaring, “This is the real deal.”
