The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has refuted claims that it filed a lawsuit against Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority and other marketers to revoke their licence to stop fuel importation. It said that a process to commence the formal withdrawal of the lawsuit will commence in January 2025. Chiejina was reacting to reports of a lawsuit filed at the Federal High Court to stop the importation of fuel by oil marketers and NNPCL. He further noted that events, including the naira for crude sales, have overtaken this development and will be withdrawn from the court. We understand that once the matter comes up in January 2025, we will be in a position to formally withdraw the matter in court.”
