GREATRIBUNEDangote refinery has started exporting Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) to several African countries, including Cameroon, Angola, Ghana, and South Africa. This development was disclosed by Devakumar Edwin, Vice President, Oil and Gas at Dangote Industries Limited.
According to Edwin, the refinery’s products meet international standards and are being exported globally. “In recent weeks, we’ve exported petrol to Cameroon, Ghana, Angola, and South Africa, among others. Diesel has gone all over the world, and jet fuel is being heavily exported to European markets. Our products are already making their mark internationally,” he said.
The Dangote refinery, which is the world’s largest single-train refinery complex, was designed and built by Nigerians and is intended to serve the global market. The facility has already started to attract international attention, with a delegation from the Japanese Business Community in Nigeria visiting the refinery and praising its technological advancements.
The refinery’s petroleum products are in high demand worldwide, and the company plans to expand its polypropylene section to reduce Nigeria’s reliance on imported polypropylene. The Dangote Group aims to create a virtuous cycle of industrial development, job creation, and economic prosperity by leveraging Africa’s vast crude oil resources to produce refined products locally.
