The Dangote Refinery, when completed, is expected to have a refining capacity of 650,000 barrels per day, which is significantly higher than the combined capacity of the four existing refineries in Nigeria, which is currently at 445,000 barrels per day. Therefore, the Dangote Refinery has the potential to significantly increase Nigeria’s refining capacity and meet the country’s domestic demand for petroleum products.
However, it is important to note that the success of the Dangote Refinery will depend on a number of factors, including the availability of crude oil, the efficiency of the refinery operations, and the ability to distribute the refined products effectively. Additionally, the rehabilitation of the existing refineries could also contribute to increasing Nigeria’s refining capacity and reducing the country’s dependence on imported refined products.
In summary, while the Dangote Refinery has the potential to significantly increase Nigeria’s refining capacity, the success of the refinery and the overall improvement of the country’s refining sector will depend on a range of factors, including the rehabilitation of the existing refineries and effective distribution infrastructure.
