Despite the initial target for commencement in June 2023, Aliko Dangote’s oil refinery received its inaugural crude deliveries late last year, marking a significant move toward initiating the delayed megaproject. 

 

The production’s first phase will prioritize diesel and aviation fuel, followed by the subsequent production of petrol.
