The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) has lost its 20% stake in the Dangote Refinery due to its failure to pay the outstanding balance for its shares.

This was revealed by Aliko Dangote, the CEO of the refinery, during a press briefing in Lagos State on Sunday.

According to Dangote, NNPCL was expected to pay the balance for their 20% stake by June but failed to fulfill the obligation.

“NNPCL no longer owns a 20% stake in the Dangote Refinery. They were meant to pay their balance in June but have yet to fulfill the obligations. Now, they only own a 7.2% stake in the refinery,” Dangote stated.

NNPCL had acquired a 20% stake in the Dangote Refinery in September 2021 for $2.76 billion. However, the company has failed to pay the outstanding balance, leading to the reduction in its stake. Olufemi Soneye, a spokesperson for NNPCL, confirmed the development, stating that the company had communicated its decision to cap its stake in the refinery several months ago.
