Dangote MegaRefinery in Nigeria Receives First Crude Oil Shipment

A significant milestone for the project was reached when the billionaire Aliko Dangotes massive refinery in Nigeria received its first supply of crude

A significant milestone for the project was reached when the billionaire Aliko Dangotes massive refinery in Nigeria received its first supply of crude oil. The refinery, situated in the Lekki free zone east of Lagos, seeks to completely satisfy Nigerias gasoline requirements, ending periodic fuel shortages and raising the standard of fuel available for use. Because its state refineries are inefficient, Nigeria, one of Africas largest oil producers, now imports most of its fuel. Launched in 2013, the $18.5 billion+ Dangote Petroleum Refinery project is anticipated to have the highest crude refining capacity on the African continent when fully operational. It will eventually refine 650,000 barrels per day after starting at 350,000 barrels per day. Read More..
