In recent weeks, Dangote Refinery has successfully exported Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) to several countries, including Cameroon, Angola, Ghana, and South Africa. Devakumar Edwin, the Vice President of Oil and Gas at Dangote Industries Limited, shared this information during a meeting with a delegation from the Japanese Business Community in Nigeria, led by Japan’s Ambassador-designate to Nigeria, Suzuki Hideo.
According to a statement released on Sunday by the company’s spokesperson, Anthony Chiejina, Edwin confirmed that the refinery’s products meet international standards and are being exported globally. “In recent weeks, we’ve exported petrol to Cameroon, Ghana, Angola, and South Africa, among others. Diesel has been shipped worldwide, and jet fuel is being heavily exported to European markets. Our products are already making their mark internationally,” Edwin stated.
Edwin also highlighted that the Dangote Refinery is a vision of Nigerian investor Aliko Dangote, designed and built by Nigerians with the goal of serving the global market. He expressed pride in the fact that a Nigerian company not only conceived but also built the world’s largest single-train refinery complex.
He further explained that Dangote Industries Limited acted as the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction contractor for the refinery, incorporating cutting-edge technologies from around the world to ensure the facility meets the highest global standards. Edwin reassured the delegation that the company remains open to collaboration and is committed to maintaining the best possible standards.
Takashi Oku, Managing Director of the Japan External Trade Organization, praised the Dangote Refinery as a remarkable project that showcases Nigeria’s technological progress. He noted that the refinery, as the world’s largest single-train facility, is a source of immense pride for Nigeria.
Oku also emphasized that the refinery strengthens Nigeria’s position as Africa’s leader and serves as an ideal introduction to the country for the global community.
