“As of 4 pm Sunday, we have loaded about 70 trucks today and it’s still ongoing,” he said.

The NNPCL began loading the first batch of petrol from the Dangote Refinery on Sunday.

Last December, Dangote, Africa’s leading industrialist, commenced operations at his $20bn facility sited in Lagos with 350,000 barrels a day.

The refinery, which was initially bogged by regulatory battles, hopes to achieve its full capacity of 650,000 barrels per day by the end of the year.

The refinery has begun the supply of diesel and aviation fuel to marketers in the country and now petrol.
