Mr Meele Kyari, the group managing director of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation Limited has reacted to claims by Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote that some staff of the Corporation are trying to sabotage his over $20 billion refinery in Lagos because they owned a refinery in Malta where they are importing adulterated fuel into the country.

Dangote made the accusation in a short video clip circulating on the internet taken from recording of his meeting with the leadership of the House of Representatives over the weekend.

The meeting of the lawmakers followed claimed by the regulatory agency of the NNPC that the diesel being produced at the Dangote refinery in Lagos is of low quality to those being imported.

However, Dangote denied the claim before the lawmakers led by Tajudeen Abbas, the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

According to him, the quality of products produced at the Dangote Refinery was far better quality than the ones imported by marketers. He alleged that the imported ones were damaging cars.

Dangote said, “I still stand by what I said. Go to filling stations, you can check the quality. That is the only way. “We know where they blend these things. Some of the NNPC people and some traders have opened a blending plant somewhere off Malta. We all know these areas. We know what they are doing.”
