The Dangote Refinery said it has exported Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) to Cameroon, Angola, Ghana, and South Africa in the past few weeks alone.
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 said this while confirming that Dangote Refinery Petroleum products meet international standards and are already being exported globally.
He also noted that diesel has been exported across the world while jet fuel is being heavily exported to European markets.
“In recent weeks, we’ve exported petrol to Cameroon, Ghana, Angola, and South Africa, among others. Diesel has gone all over the world, and jet fuel is being heavily exported to European markets.
“Our products are already making their mark internationally,” Edwin said.
In his remarks, Managing Director of the Japan External Trade Organisation, 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.
“We had heard about the excellence of the Dangote Refinery through the media, but seeing it in person has left us truly amazed by its vastness and grandeur.
“It demonstrates that Nigeria’s population is not only growing but also advancing in technology. We are keen to collaborate with Nigerian companies, especially Dangote Refinery,” he said.
Recall that Dangote Refinery recently announced the commencement of petrol exports to Cameroon.
