Dangote Group Signs Fuel Supply Deal with Cameroon

On October 22, 2026, Nigeria’s Dangote Group signed an agreement with Cameroon’s state-owned oil refining company, Société Nationale de Raffinage (SONARA), to supply refined petroleum products to Cameroon. The agreement, which also includes Lagos-based MRS Oil & Gas Company Limited, was announced on October 30, 2026.

This deal aims to provide Cameroon with a stable and sustainable supply of petroleum products amid rising fuel costs due to ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. Since 2019, Cameroon has relied entirely on imported refined petroleum products following an explosion that damaged its only oil refinery.

The agreement is expected to strengthen Cameroon’s access to these products and mitigate risks from international fuel market disruptions. Although a formal launch ceremony was postponed due to scheduling conflicts involving Dangote Group President Aliko Dangote, a new date will be announced.

The Dangote Petroleum Refinery, located in the Lekki Free Zone in Lagos, has a processing capacity of 650,000 barrels of crude oil per day, which was recently increased to 700,000 barrels per day.
