Elder statesman and former Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), Prof.Itse Sagay (SAN) on Wednesday said it is surprising why the newly operational Dangote Refinery has decided on producing diesel and aviation fuel while neglecting petrol that is most needed by Nigerians.

Speaking in an interview with newsmen, Sagay said in May 2023, Dangote dashed the hopes of Nigerians when he invited former President Muhammadu Buhari to commission the refinery only to discover that work was still ongoing at the site.

According to him, even after the company announced the commencement of operations, it only said it will produce diesel and aviation fuel while petrol that is needed by most Nigerians was not produced.

He said “A month before Tinubu was sworn in as president, I granted interviews where I said that his government should not remove subsidy until we start producing petrol locally. I said we should hold on until the Dangote refinery and those belonging to the federal government is ready. Once those refineries are ready and you remove the subsidy, there will be no negative impact on the masses”.

“What is making petrol so expensive now is the transport and various charges of importation and exportation”.

“If that advice had been taken, I don’t think we will be going through what we are going through now. But I am a layman and we are talking of a government that is advised by all the specialists in every field in the world. So, I don’t think I can insist that I am right”.

“Unfortunately, this is the outcome of the immediate removal of fuel subsidy when we are not producing petrol locally. However, with Dangote coming in now, I hope things get better. I understand he is not producing fuel now but diesel and Aviation fuel. Why is Dangote so much interested in punishing Nigerians? You know that the main product Nigerians want now us petrol yet he is now producing diesel and Aviation. Why should you do that?”

He did the same thing too when he invited Buhari to come and commission the refinery when the fact was that the refinery was not ready. The refinery was commissioned in May 2023 but it became operational now in 2024. That is about eight months. So, he raised our expectations only to dash it”.

“Now that the refinery is open, he decided to delay the production of the very one that will bring economic change to Nigeria and reduce the hardship being faced by Nigerians. I don’t understand Dangote at all”.

“I think once the refinery in Port Harcourt which has been completed and is going through a process of trials, starts producing and other small ones start producing fuel, I believe we will see prices coming down and the naira will regain its equilibrium and start doing better. Right now, it is such a disaster”.

Because marketers and government are still cashing out big time

Dangote and Bunkerers have same manifesto.


It cost more time and resources to refine Petrol that is cheaper than Diesel.

Hehehe.

And the blame games continue .

Dangote as a business man will do what is best for his business first. He is not a father Christmas .

This is why I laugh at Nigerians who think that once Dangote refinary start functioning all our problem is Nigeria will be sorted out.

Dangote as the richest man in Africa is also gunning to become the richest in the world,so he will most likely strive to reach his target.

A professor is asking this question?
I read somewhere that knowledge expires.
The illiterates of the 21st century would not be those who didn't attend schools but those refuse to unlearn and relearn.

A prof is asking this kinda a question?
Hmmmmm

Dude reality doesn't know that the high host of everything is actually as a result of high cost of diesel not petrol.

Companys run on diesel, the logistics to move the goods around (mostly trucks) run on diesel.
Me personally apart from my car I have no business with petrol.
But I have every business with diesel.
You still have business with diesel even if you trek to and fro your work.
So prof is actually wrong for saying what Nigerians need the most is petrol.

Because the refinery is not 100% complete.

Will u kip kwayet? What Nigerians needed most right now is petrol at reduced price

Even with the #650 there is queue in most fuel station in the town.
This Government is clueless and pathetic

ITS ANNOYING THAT SAME SUPPORTERS OF FAILURES ARE EXPECTING MIRACLES.

It was an agreement between him and importer and government dangote will begin to refine fuel by end of 2025 mark it somewhere

Itse Saggy is now an elder stateman, former this and former that

Bastard

He obviously sees Nigerians as his enemies despite earning his income via corrupt enrichment with a tint of hard brain work.

Commercial Traffic runs on diesel

Wahala, could it be the plant is not yet complete or his storing it for now

No need for all this fight about diesel and petrol.
When you refine crude, Diesel and petrol must come out,
it's just that diesel is distilled first before petrol.
We are almost there, let's just exercise patience.

Imagine say Dangote no build this refinery
how e for be for our body?
The man should be commended joor.

Exactly what I have been saying,the nnpcl had no business investing Nigerias money in the Dangote refinery when the man himself have never meant well form the country considering the huge favours in terms of tax waivers that he enjoys.

May be he is trying to study the market first and you know vaporisation of diesel is slower compare to petrol ... and he probably must have calculate the volume considering his output ....

Dangote is a business man. Consumption of AGO is higher than PMS. Man need to cash out big time.

You've said it all.

The refinery would definitely produce Petrol and Diesel simultaneously.

To a large extent, they can't help it as they are products of fractionation.

Oga, na chemistry.

Dangote cannot avoid producing petrol.

Abi e go swallow am?

This country sef. Na Una go tell am the one wey carry profit pass, or do you think he is a charity organisation

big and small companies need diesel more than petrol.

Infact the thing surprised me too.

Nyouth:

Oga you can't choose not to refine petrol

Bros you can't choose to produce only diesel and kero

It's impossible in cracking

He is obviously holding back the petrol till subsidies are removed from petrol like diesel and kero

quite a brilliant write up. But I will continue to say it, DANGOTE is very wicked, he hate Nigerians with a passion.

in case you don't know, Nigeria consumes more diesel than petrol.

This is a country where every aspect of its production is based on generators. Those trucks moving goods and services to every big business and medium scale farmers are all based on diesel.


The subsidy on petrol is the reason all eyes are there. These criminals who are enjoying the subsidy makes it look like we consume quintillions of petrol daily

Diesel and aviation fuel are very critical to the economies of many countries.

we are saying the same thing, cracking is just a matter of temperature difference you can choose not to get to that pms temperature

I will recommend the end of Year 2032.
