The Chairman of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, “elatedly thanked Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his support and encouragement, towards the actualisation of this project.”
He was said to have also thanked the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority and Nigerians for their support and belief in what he called the historic project.
“We thank President Bola Tinubu for his support and for making our dream come true. This production, as witnessed today, would not have been possible without his visionary leadership and prompt attention to details.

The statement posted on the Dangote Group X handle added that the Dangote Refinery “can load 2,900 trucks a day at its truck-loading gantries.
“The products from the Refinery will conform to Euro V specifications. The refinery design complies with the World Bank, US EPA, European emission norms, and DPR emission/effluent norms.”
It was earlier reported that the Dangote Petroleum Refinery was set to start producing Automotive Gas Oil, also known as diesel, and JetA1 or aviation fuel, in January 2024, while the production of petrol was being delayed by the supply of crude oil in instalments.
The Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemical Project, a subsidiary of Dangote Industries Limited, is a 650,000 barrels per day crude oil refinery located in Dangote Industries Free Zone, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria.
Dangote Petroleum Refinery, with the capacity to refine 650,000 barrels of crude oil per day, covers an area of approximately 2,635 hectares and is located in the Lekki Free Trade Zone in Lagos.
So far, the facility has received six shipments of one million barrels each of crude oil.
Congratulations to Dangote Group…. I doubt if most Nigerians understand that Dangote Refinery is a private business of a man who wouldn’t reduce the price of cement and not a Government project (regardless of the stake of the cabals)
The big question is…. Would the price of Petrol fall and Nigerians buy petrol ⛽ cheaper?
Dangote is in for his gains and business not for Nigerians…..
Let’s be watching…
