President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, has shed light on why the first batch of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, produced at his refinery appears noticeably clearer than the petrol currently available in the market.

During a broadcast from his refinery in the Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos State, Dangote explained that the clarity of this petrol is indicative of its higher environmental standards.

He emphasized that the cleaner petrol is designed to be more eco-friendly, potentially reducing health risks associated with the pollutants found in traditional petroleum products.

Dangote also highlighted the benefits of this refined petrol in protecting vehicle engines from the damage typically caused by the lower-quality petrol available on the market.

“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,” Dangote stated.

Speaking about the diesel produced at the refinery, Dangote added, “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.”

He further emphasized the importance of this development for public health and environmental safety, stating, “The health of the people and the environment will not be compromised. This is the real deal.”
