Dangote Industries Expands Petroleum Network Across Africa
Aliko Dangote, President and Chief Executive of Dangote Industries Limited, announced plans to expand the company's petroleum distribution network across Africa. This initiative, disclosed in a statement from the Dangote Group on October 21, 2026, includes investments in pipelines, storage facilities, and strategic supply corridors.
The expansion targets East, Central, and Southern Africa to address supply challenges and enhance energy security. Dangote revealed that the Group acquired a 25% stake in a petroleum products pipeline network in Kenya and is pursuing projects in Ethiopia, Cameroon, and Namibia.
A distribution corridor linking Djibouti with Addis Ababa is planned, along with tank farms for petroleum storage. Additionally, a new refinery with a capacity of 700,000 barrels per day is proposed in Lamu, Kenya, to meet growing energy demands.
Dangote emphasized the need for African governments to protect local industries from unfair foreign competition to foster industrial development.
