 after meeting with  President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, State House, Abuja today.

The Minister informed that with Dangote's 650,000 barrels per day refinery leading the charge, this innovative approach is driving market-driven pricing for petroleum and foreign exchange, stimulating private investment, economic growth, and job creation
