Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals has withdrawn its legal action against the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), and five other petroleum companies.
The suit, which was filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja, was formally discontinued by the company’s legal team through a notice of discontinuance submitted to the court.
Other defendants in the case included AYM Shafa Limited, A.A. Rano Limited, T. Time Petroleum Limited, 2015 Petroleum Limited, and Matrix Petroleum Services Limited.
No official reason was provided for the withdrawal, and details surrounding the lawsuit, including the reliefs sought and whether an out-of-court settlement was reached, remain undisclosed.
