Nigeria has made significant strides in reducing its fuel dependency as the Dangote refinery ramps up its output, with the country exporting 55.39 million barrels amid ongoing crude shortages. The refinery's increased production capacity is helping Nigeria slash petrol imports by 85%, with consumption recorded at 10.2 billion litres over the past six months.
This shift marks a pivotal moment for Nigeria, historically reliant on fuel imports. As Dangote refinery continues to enhance its operations, the nation is on track to achieve greater energy independence and stabilize its fuel supply.
