Popular Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote’s newly introduced colorless petrol, known as Premium Motor Spirit, is currently a trending topic online as his refinery finally begins operations.
Dangote has officially announced the commencement of petrol production at the Dangote Refinery, which has rolled out its first batch of petrol from its 650,000 barrels-per-day facility.
Presenting the first sample of the petrol to the press, Dangote assured Nigerians of the highest quality supply of Premium Motor Spirit for their vehicles, saying that they “are now going to have good petrol while the engines of your vehicles will last longer.”
Speaking further Dangote who hails from Kano State expressed his gratitude to President Tinubu for permitting the sale of crude oil in Naira.
Shedding more light, Dangote speaks on why the petrol from his refinery known as Premium Motor Spirit appears clearer than the petrol currently in circulation.
Speaking during a broadcast at his refinery in the Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos State, Dangote emphasized that the clearer petrol is more environmentally friendly and could help reduce health problems linked to polluted petroleum products.
He also pointed out that this new petrol would protect engines from damage commonly caused by the lower-quality petrol typically available in the market. He was spotted with his daughter Fatimah Dangote who is the vice-president of the refinery.
Meanwhile, the colorless petrol from the Dangote Refinery has sparked various reactions online, with many people saying it looks like water or tequila, raising questions about whether it will perform better.

djlegend__: why the pms Is pure like water. Petrol has different colors, When it’s Red that means Octane was added. When it’s slightly Green then Octane is slightly very much. When is Yellow it means it has no lead in it. That means it’s unleaded. But when it’s clear as water as seen in the video then you should know that ethanol was used . What ethanol does is that it improves engine efficiency and power. Because ethanol has a good amount of oxygen it lessens the amount of carbonation in engines there by reducing air pollution which comes as Carbon dioxide. So this is the best form of Petrol. Congratulations Dangote @aliko_dangotegcon @dangotegroup
mykel_smiith: It’s not by sugarcoating words…We just hope you are not another Tinubu in disguise😏.
king_jozef: As a reporter , one of your most valuable skill is how to speak to people in a tone , manner and diction they can easily understand and respond to.
