dangote refinery

The Dangote Refinery is a massive oil‑refining complex under construction in Lagos State, Nigeria, owned by billionaire Aliko Dangote. When completed (expected 2025‑2026), it will have a capacity of about 650,000 barrels per day, making it Africa’s largest single‑site refinery. The project aims to reduce Nigeria’s reliance on imported refined petroleum products, create thousands of jobs, and boost the country’s petrochemical industry. It includes units for crude distillation, vacuum distillation, catalytic cracking, hydro‑desulfurization, and a petrochemical plant for producing gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, LPG, and other products.
