The richest man in Nigeria maintained that the government team comprising the minister of finance and coordinating economy, Wale Edun and Adedeji, negotiating with the Dangote Refinery team, have shown understanding so far.

When Dangote was asked if there had been an understanding between the government and the Dangote refinery, the billionaire said:

"I think we have quite a good relationship with the government today. The president actually put the minister of finance, the special adviser on revenue, a very smart guy, Zacch Adedeji."

During the interview, Dangote addressed several issues relating to Nigeria's refinery and fuel subsidy. He commended the agreement to sell crude oil to the Dangote Refinery in naira and urged the government to remove the fuel subsidy completely.

President Bola Tinubu has consistently announced and defended the removal of the fuel subsidy, which has led to an increase in the price of food and other basic commodities. Many Nigerians are lamenting the hardship it has caused. There have also been protests in different parts of the country.
