Description
Description | The Dangote Refinery in Lekki near Lagos, Nigeria, is one of the world’s biggest oil refineries and the largest single-train refinery, with a planned refining capacity of about 650,000 barrels per day. It includes a petrochemical complex and fertilizer facilities, producing gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, and other refined petroleum products at a scale capable of transforming regional and international fuel markets. The refinery is a transformative project for African energy security, reducing Nigeria's dependence on imported refined products and strengthening energy sovereignty. Plans for feasibility studies in early 2026 indicate interest in expanding refining capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day. The Dangote Group is also expanding fuel storage and logistics infrastructure beyond Nigeria, with projects in Namibia and potential development of a second refinery in East Africa. |
