The Dangote Refinery, the largest single train refinery in the world, with capacity to refine 650,000 barrels of crude oil, started production last weekend. The refinery has started with diesel and aviation fuel production, according to reports. The Dangote refinery is critical to Nigeria’s possibility of stopping the importation of fuel, conserving foreign exchange, and stabilising prices. The plant was commissioned in the twilight of President Buhari’s administration, but it has taken about 8 months after before production commences.
