Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote just lobbed an allegation that Nigerian government officials from the National oil company, Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), setup an oil blending plant “somewhere off Malta”. Quoting a news publication this morning:
Aliko Dangote, chairman of Dangote Industries Limited, has alleged some personnel of Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, oil traders and terminals have opened a blending plant in Malta.
Dangote spoke at the house of representatives on Monday.
An oil blending plant has no refining capability but can be used to blend re-refined oil (a used motor oil that has been treated to remove dirt, fuel, and water) with additives to create finished lubricant products.
The billionaire said the areas of the blending plants are known.
“Some of the terminals, some of the NNPC people and some traders have opened a blending plant somewhere off Malta,” the chairman said.
“We all know these areas. We know what they are doing.”
Do any of you know of any Nigerian owned oil facility in Malta?
Thanks
