\u201cThe overhaul we\u2019re planning is not about reducing petrol prices,\u201d Dangote told journalists. \u201cIt\u2019s about a comprehensive restructuring of Nigeria\u2019s downstream sector. You will hear from us soon\u2014stay tuned. This will be one of the most significant shakeups in the country\u2019s oil and gas landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Dangote declined to provide specific details about the upcoming overhaul, he assured that the government\u2019s support and the president\u2019s recent visit mark a pivotal step toward revitalising Nigeria\u2019s oil industry.<\/p>\n
President Tinubu, during his visit, described Dangote Refinery as a monumental investment\u2014a symbol of Nigeria\u2019s journey toward industrialisation.
