Dangote Refinery will enhance energy independence across Nigeria

The Executive Chairman of African Energy Chambers, NJ Ayuk, said that the coming onstream of the $20 billion Dangote Refinery will enhance energy independence across Nigeria.
According to him, the refinery will have a huge impact on energy security and affordability in Nigeria, enabling the exploitation of the country’s 37 billion barrels of proven oil reserves to address both local and regional energy needs.
As Nigeria moves to alleviate energy poverty through domestic petroleum products, facilities such as the Dangote Refinery will be central for enhancing energy independence across the country.
The milestone is also a testament of the capacity of Nigeria’s local producers to provide local refineries with the crude required to meet local needs.
