Dangote Refinery Faces Competition from 23 New Refineries in Nigeria

The Nigerian business landscape is set for a significant shift as Dangote Refinery prepares to compete with 23 new refineries nearing completion. These developments, as revealed by PETROAN, are expected to add 850,000 barrels per day to Nigeria's refining capacity.

Dangote Petroleum Refinery plans to expand its capacity to 1.4 million bpd by 2028 through advanced technology partnerships. Challenges such as crude oil supply constraints and operational issues are noted, with potential policy impacts on domestic refineries.

The aim is to enhance Africa's energy independence and reduce Nigeria's reliance on imported petroleum products.
