Aliko Dangote, President of Dangote Petroleum Refinery, has declared that Nigeria’s five-decade struggle with fuel scarcity has ended since the refinery began producing petrol one year ago.

Speaking at the facility’s first-anniversary conference, Dangote highlighted the transformative impact of the 650,000-barrel-per-day project on Nigeria’s energy security and economy.

The refinery has eliminated fuel queues that plagued Nigeria since 1975. Petrol prices have dropped from nearly ₦1,100 to ₦841 in key regions.

Over 1.1 billion litres of PMS were exported between June, September 2025, boosting forex earnings.The project faced skepticism and warnings that only nations, not private entities, should build refineries.

Dangote emphasized job creation, with 4,000 CNG trucks expected to generate 24,000 new jobs.

Employees earn triple the minimum wage, with comprehensive health and pension benefits.

The refinery plans to expand capacity to 700,000 barrels per day and avoid retail market entry.

This milestone represents a historic shift from fuel import dependency to self-sufficiency, positioning Nigeria as Africa’s refining hub and a growing global energy player.
