Aliko Dangote, CEO of Dangote Refinery, has announced that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited no longer holds a 20% stake in the refinery.
During a press briefing at the refinery on Sunday, Dangote revealed that NNPC now owns only 7.2% of the refinery due to its failure to pay the remaining balance of its share, which was due in June.
Dangote explained that although NNPC had promised to provide the necessary funds, it has been unable to fulfil its financial obligations. Consequently, NNPC's stake in the $19 billion refinery has been reduced to 7.2%.
