The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced a major expansion of its production capacity from 650,000 barrels per day to 1.4 million barrels per day, positioning it as the largest refinery in the world.

This landmark development marks a significant milestone in Nigeria’s drive toward energy independence and industrial growth. The expansion is expected to enhance the nation’s refining capacity, reduce dependence on fuel imports, and strengthen Nigeria’s position as a key player in the global oil and gas industry.

Industry experts say the increased capacity will not only meet domestic demand for petroleum products but also create export opportunities across Africa and beyond. The refinery’s expansion underscores the commitment of the Dangote Group to driving sustainable energy development and supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda for economic transformation.
