Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical Limited has said that the court case that has been widely reported between it, Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Nigeria Midstream And Downstream Regulatory Authority (NMDRA), and other stakeholders in the oil and gas industry is not a fresh issue, stating that the issue is being discussed among parties to resolve it amicably
The company is a statement said: “This is an old issue that started in June and culminated in a matter being filed on September 6, 2024
Currently, the parties are in discussion since President Bola Tinubu’s directive on Crude Oil and Refined products sales in the Naira Initiative, which was approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
We have made tremendous progress in that regard and events have overtaken this development.
No party has been served with court processes and there is no intention of doing so. We have agreed to put a halt to the proceedings.
It is important to stress that no orders have been made and there are no adverse effects on any party. We understand that once the matter comes up in January 2025, we will be in a position to formally withdraw the matter in court”.
