Aliko Dangote has said he didn’t get any incentive from Federal and state government of Nigeria for building a refinery.
He disclosed it on Saturday while addressing newsmen in Lagos against the claim of monopoly by the government of Nigeria, he said, “In the refinery, we did not, and I repeat, we did not collect one single incentive from the Federal Government of Nigeria or even Lagos State.
“Yes, the Lagos State gave us a good deal but we paid $100m for the land. It wasn’t free land; we paid for it.”
“This country has been having petrol queues since 1972. The fact that we are now ready to start, everybody is up and about. In terms of quality, we are doing very well, nobody can produce anything better than us.”
PMS was supposed to be out this July, but due to a fire incident, it disrupted us for a few days. By the latest, 10 or 12 August PMS will be ready – Dangote.” He added.
