Aliko Dangote, President of Dangote Group, has shed light on why the first sample of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, from his new refinery is notably clearer than the petrol currently available in the market.

During a broadcast at his refinery in the Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos State, Dangote explained that the clarity of the new petrol signifies its environmentally friendly nature and its potential to reduce health issues associated with polluted petroleum products.

“This is the sample of the petrol. You see it as a different color but that is the real deal. You are now going to have a good and real product,” Dangote stated.

He also addressed the distinct color of the diesel, noting that it is a new product called Euro-5 diesel. “I am sure Nigerians have not seen this color of diesel before,” he said. “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.”

Dangote further emphasized the benefits of the new products, asserting, “The health of the people and the environment will not be compromised. This is the real deal.”
