A section of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery has been gutted by fire.
The incident occurred on Wednesday.

An ETP is a type of wastewater treatment method which is specifically designed to purify industrial wastewater for its reuse — to release safe water to the environment from the harmful effects caused by the effluent.
He said the fire had been contained, adding that it was a minor incident.
Dangote refinery, on January 12, commenced production of diesel and aviation fuel.
The 650,000 barrels per day (bpd) capacity refinery was inaugurated by former President Muhammadu Buhari in May 2023
