Dangote refinery begins production

Nigeria’s hope of putting a stop to importation of petroleum products received a boost last night as the 650,000 barrels per day refining capacity of Dangote Refinery, the world’s largest single train located in Lekki, Lagos, began production yesterday.

The refinery started production after receiving six million barrels of crude oil from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).

This was confirmed by an official of the company on Friday night.
