Dangote Urges NUPRC to Enforce Domestic Crude Supply Obligation.

The Dangote Group has requested that the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) enforce the domestic crude supply obligation outlined in the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA). This comes after reports suggested that the group had changed its stance on receiving crude oil from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) for its refinery in Lagos. Dangote Refinery clarified that it had not accused the NNPC of failing to supply them with crude, but rather stated that they had been unable to secure the remaining cargoes needed for September. They urged the NUPRC to enforce the domestic crude supply obligation as mandated by the PIA. [Extracted from the article]
