A “minor fire” incident was recorded at the effluent treatment plant of the Dangote Refinery in Lagos on Wednesday.
The fire was immediately put out as firefighters and first responders swiftly rose to the occasion.
Viral videos showed thick plume of smoke billowing into the sky from the facility located at the Lekki Free Zone near Lagos.
In a statement, a spokesman for the company, Anthony Chiejina, said operations at the refinery was not affected in anyway.
“There is no cause for alarm as the refinery is operating and there is no recorded injury or body harm to all our staff on duty,” he said.
