Otedola Wades into Dangote, Depot Owners’ Faceoff
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Nigerian billionaire businessman and philanthropist Femi Otedola has stepped into the heated standoff between the Dangote Refinery and the Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN).
In a strongly worded letter, Otedola declared that depot owners are holding onto a business model that has outlived its relevance in Nigeria’s deregulated oil market.
He stated that the time for the depot owners to pack up and go has come, as the model is now obsolete and no longer viable.
