Dangote Refinery Faces Operational Setbacks, Fuel Shortage Looms Across Africa
Dangote Refinery, Africa's largest refinery, is experiencing operational challenges, reducing its crude oil purchases and signaling potential fuel shortages across the continent. The refinery's struggles include technical glitches, unplanned outages, and labor unrest, resulting in a significant loss of production.
