Dangote Refinery Takes AGF to Court Over New Petrol Import Licences

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has filed a lawsuit against the Attorney General of the Federation to challenge recent petrol import licences issued by the Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority. The company argues these approvals violate a court order to maintain the status quo and undermine its operations. Dangote says the licences breach rules that only allow imports when local output cannot meet demand. Fuel marketers defend the permits as necessary to prevent shortages. This legal battle will shape Nigeria’s refining capacity and test implementation of the country’s petroleum laws.
