The Dangote Refinery, a massive project in Nigeria, is poised to receive a larger allocation of Nigerian crude oil. This move is intended to ease the persistent fuel supply challenges within the country. By refining more crude domestically, Nigeria aims to reduce its dependence on imported petroleum products, which have been a significant drain on its foreign exchange reserves.

Context

Dangote refinery

Owned by the Dangote Group and located in Lekki, Nigeria, the Dangote Refinery was officially inaugurated (commissioned) on May 22, 2023 and began operations in January 2024, processing crude into products like diesel and aviation fuel. The production of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also referred to as petrol, began in September 2024. Originally intended to have a refining capacity of about 650,000 barrels of crude oil per day at full operationality, the refinery is the largest single-train refinery in the world with initial investments in excess of US$19 billion. As at February 2026, the refinery had hit full refining capacity. The refinery has also significantly increased exports of refined petroleum products, shipping large volumes across Africa — including to Ghana, Cameroon, Togo and Tanzania — and to a number of international markets across the globe. Also, in March 2026, several African governments, including South Africa, were reported to be in discussions with the Dangote Refinery for long‑term supply arrangements, with South Africa inquiring about a 12‑month contract for refined petroleum products amid global fuel market disruptions; governments such as Ghana and Kenya have also expressed interest in diversified supply sources. In October, 2025, Aliko Dangote, the refinery's founder and majority owner announced ongoing expansion efforts which would increase the refining capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day. This would make it the largest refinery in the world based on current global refinery capacities.
