Dangote Refinery challenges NNPCL’s objection against N100 billion import licenses suit, calls Company ‘busybody’ 

Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE has urged the Federal High Court in Abuja to dismiss the preliminary objection of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) against its N100 billion import licenses lawsuit.

The legal team of Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals accused NNPCL of being a “busybody” and “meddlesome interloper” attempting to kill a suit that seeks the court’s interpretation of certain sections of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA).

On Thursday, the court adjourned the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE  import license lawsuit against NNPCL, Matrix Petroleum Services Limited, A.A. Rano Limited, and four other companies.

Nairametrics previously reported that Dangote Refinery’s legal team had sought to amend the suit to correct a “clerical spelling” error on January 30, but the request could not be heard due to NNPCL’s insistence on resolving its preliminary objection first.
