Vice President of Oil and Gas at Dangote Industries Limited , Devakumar Edwin, recently said NMDPRA was indiscriminately licensing marketers to import dirty petroleum products into the country. Edwin mentioned that NMDPRA’s decision to grant licences for the importation of substandard diesel and aviation fuel prompted Dangote Refinery to expand into foreign markets.
It, however, revealed that the regulatory authority recently objected to off-takes by their vessels from import vessels via ship-to-ship operations, which was resisted by downstream operators. Responding to the allegations by Dangote Refinery, in Abuja, yesterday, he pointed out that Economic Community of West African States heads of state endorsed the declaration that required certain petroleum products to have a minimum of 50ppm of sulphur, adding that Section 317 of the Petroleum Industry Act also captured and upheld these ECOWAS treaty.
