Dangote Industries Limited's management has refuted claims questioning the quality of its diesel, labeling such allegations as false and mischievous.

The company asserts that its refinery is engineered to produce top-tier petroleum products that adhere to rigorous international standards. Anthony Chiejina, the company's spokesperson, emphasized that recent reports suggesting substandard diesel production led to the price reductions are unfounded. Chiejina clarified that the refinery's diesel output contains significantly lower levels of Sulphur compared to previous imports, debunking claims of inferior quality.

He further dismissed assertions that the reduced price is indicative of lower quality, citing market dynamics and the company's commitment to national interest as primary reasons for the adjustment.

With a production capacity exceeding domestic demand, Dangote's refinery aims to contribute to Nigeria's energy independence while maintaining global quality standards.
