Dangote petrol exported to South Africa, Angola, Ghana, Cameroon, others — Official

Petrol from Dangote refinery has been exported to several African countries in recent weeks, Devakumar Edwin, vice president of oil and gas at Dangote Industries Limited, Devakumar Edwin, has said. 

Edwin said this during a visit to the refinery by a delegation from the Japanese Business Community in Nigeria, led by Japan’s Ambassador-designate to Nigeria, Suzuki Hideo, according to a statement on Sunday. 

“In recent weeks, we’ve exported petrol to Cameroon, Ghana, Angola, and South Africa among others. Diesel has gone all over the world, and jet fuel is being heavily exported to European markets. Our products are already making their mark internationally,” he said.

He added that by leveraging Africa’s vast crude oil resources to produce refined products locally, the Dangote Group aims to create a virtuous cycle of industrial development, job creation, and economic prosperity.

Edwin said the Dangote Petrochemical project will significantly boost investment in downstream industries, creating substantial value, generating employment, increasing tax revenues, reducing foreign exchange outflows, and contributing to Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product.
