Nigéria : Dangote intensifie ses livraisons de carburant en Afrique
The Dangote refinery, the largest in Africa, has increased its exports of gasoline and urea to meet supply disruptions affecting several countries on the continent following the Iranian conflict, its owner, Aliko Dangote, announced on Monday.
Located on the outskirts of Lagos, the refinery is now operating at full capacity, or 650,000 barrels per day, a level which, according to its owner, helps to mitigate the effects of the crisis both in Nigeria and in a large part of Africa.
"What I can do is assure Nigerians, as well as most of West, Central and East Africa, that we have the capacity to supply them," Aliko Dangote said during a visit to the industrial site.
The refinery has already shipped 17 cargoes of gasoline to other African countries. Urea exports have also increased as buyers seek alternative sources. The refinery has an annual production capacity of up to 3 million metric tons of urea. Until now, most of this production has been exported to the United States and South America, according to industry sources.
Despite this effort, fuel prices remain at record highs in Nigeria, driven by rising crude oil prices. Aliko Dangote has called for increased crude oil supplies denominated in local currency to contain costs.
