Dangote speaks on first export to Cameroon

The two firms are exploring further plans to establish a reliable supply chain, stabilise fuel prices, and create new economic opportunities in the region.

According to a statement, Aliko Dangote, Chairman of the Dangote Group, said the move is the first step to exporting petrol to Cameroon and is a tangible demonstration of the company’s vision for united and energy-independent Africa.

He said with the new development, the refinery is laying the foundation for a future where African resources are refined and exchanged on the continent for the people.

The Lekki-based refinery is Africa’s largest, with a processing capacity of 650,000bpd, and is seen as the group's flagship project.

There have been predictions that the facility will disrupt African and European energy markets when it reaches full production capacity.

It will also eliminate Nigeria’s dependence on imported fuel, which has gulped trillions of naira.

Other countries begin negotiations for petrol purchases

The export shows Dangote Refinery’s capacity to meet Nigeria’s fuel requirements while positioning it as a significant player in the regional energy market.

According to a Punch report, the refinery facilitates access to high-quality, locally sourced petroleum products from Central African countries while reducing its reliance on imports

The refinery has also begun fuel exports to South Africa, Angola, and Namibia.

Also, other African countries such as Niger Republic, Chad, Burkina Faso, and the Central Africa Republic have begun negotiations with the refinery for PMS purchases.

Reports say Antoine Ndzengue, director and owner of Neptune Oil, said the partnership with Dangote Refinery is a turning point for Cameroon.
