Dangote Group Partners with Cameroon for Fuel Supply

Dangote Group has entered into a petroleum supply agreement with Cameroon’s state-owned oil company, Société Nationale de Raffinage (SONARA). This deal is designed to provide Cameroon with more reliable access to refined petroleum products, reducing its vulnerability to international fuel supply disruptions amid rising oil prices and geopolitical instability.

The partnership also involves MRS, although financial terms, delivery volumes, and a start date for the supply were not disclosed. A formal launch ceremony for the partnership has been postponed due to a scheduling conflict involving the president of Dangote Group.

This agreement is part of Dangote's strategy to become a key petroleum supplier across Africa, with Botswana also in discussions for a potential fuel supply agreement. Data from the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority indicates that Dangote refinery's exports increased to 54.63 million litres per day in September 2026, reflecting its ambition to serve African markets seeking alternatives to traditional suppliers.
