In the past few weeks, the Dangote Refinery has exported Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) to Cameroon, Angola, Ghana, and South Africa.
In a statement by Dangote Group Spokesperson Anthony Chijiena, Devakumar Edwin, the Vice President of Oil and Gas, Dangote Industries Limited, disclosed this while playing host to a delegation from the Japanese Business Community in Nigeria, led by Japan’s Ambassador-designate to Nigeria, Suzuki Hideo.
Edwin confirmed that Dangote Refinery’s petroleum products meet international standards and are already being shipped to global markets.
He added that diesel has been exported worldwide, while jet fuel is seeing significant demand in European markets.
“In recent weeks, we have sent petrol to Cameroon, Ghana, Angola, and South Africa, among other destinations. Diesel has reached markets across the globe, and jet fuel is being heavily delivered to Europe.”
“Our products are already making their mark internationally,” Edwin said.
In his remarks, Managing Director of the Japan External Trade Organization, Takashi Oku, said that the refinery stands as a remarkable project that showcases the country’s technological progress.
Oku added that the facility, as the world’s largest single-train refinery, is a point of immense pride for Nigeria.
He stated that while they had heard about the Dangote Refinery’s excellence through the media, witnessing it firsthand left them truly astonished by its scale and grandeur. He emphasized that it reflects Nigeria’s growing population and technological progress and expressed a strong interest in partnering with Nigerian companies, particularly the Dangote Refinery.
