Aliko Dangote, the President of Dangote Group, has presented the first sample of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) produced by his refinery in Lagos.
During a broadcast at the refinery's facility in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos, Dangote explained why the new petrol appears clearer than the fuel currently in circulation.
Dangote explained that the clearer petrol is more environmentally friendly and could help reduce health issues associated with polluted petroleum products. He emphasized that the health of the people and the environment will not be compromised.
Dangote noted that the new petrol would also protect engines from damage caused by the unclear petrol typically found in the market.
He stated, "This is the sample of the petrol. You see it as a different colour but that is the real deal. You are now going to have a good and real product."
He continued, "I am sure Nigerians have not seen this colour of diesel before. This is called Euro-5 diesel. It contains less than 10 parts per million (PPM) of sulfur. This will help vehicles, engines, and generators last longer."
