The President and Chief Executive of the Dangote Group, Mr. Aliko Dangote, yesterday visited the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) in an apparent move to mend the strained relationship between both companies during the leadership of the erstwhile Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr Mele Kyari.
In a message on its X handle, the national oil company stated that during the meeting, discussions centred on “promoting mutually beneficial partnerships and fostering healthy competition between the two companies towards ensuring the nation’s energy security and advancing shared prosperity for Nigerians.”
Under the erstwhile leadership, the relationship between both companies was mostly tense, especially since the 650,000 barrels per day facility located in Lagos began processing petroleum products.
