Aliko Dangote, President of Dangote Group, has clarified why the initial batch of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), or petrol, from his refinery appears clearer than the petrol currently available.
In a broadcast from his refinery in the Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos State, Dangote explained that the clearer petrol is more environmentally friendly and could help mitigate health problems linked to polluted petroleum products.
He also pointed out that this new petrol would safeguard engines from damage caused by the less refined petrol commonly found in the market.

He said, “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.”
Also speaking of the colour of the diesel, he said, “I am sure Nigerians have not seen this colour of diesel before,” Dangote stated. “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 emphasised, “The health of the people and the environment will not be compromised. This is the real deal.”
