Dangote's Strategic Moves to Enhance Nigerian Fuel Supply

Aliko Dangote is seeking billions in funding to boost crude supplies for his $20 billion oil refinery near Lagos, aiming to reach its full capacity of 650,000 barrels per day. The refinery, which has started producing some refined products, is seen as a potential game changer for Nigeria, reducing its reliance on imported fuel. However, challenges include securing a steady crude supply and concerns over Nigeria's currency devaluation. Dangote is in talks with various financial entities and the Nigerian government to address these issues.

Dangote Refinery Commissioned in Nigeria Despite Crude Supply Concerns

Nigeria's Dangote Petroleum Refinery, one of the country's single largest investments, will be commissioned on Monday, but a lack of crude supply poses a major risk to it achieving full production. Despite being Africa's biggest oil producer, Nigeria imports petrol, diesel and processed petroleum products because its refineries were run down over the years. The refinery needs a constant supply of crude but Nigeria's oil production has been declining due to oil theft, vandalism of pipelines and underinvestment.

Saudi Arabia Continues Oil Supply to Asia Despite OPEC+ Cuts, Boosting Bourse Gains.

The move caused Brent and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures to jump 6% last week, returning to levels last seen in November.
