The Dangote Refinery announced that, due to a shortage in Nigeria, it is looking to buy crude oil from Angola and Libya.

This was revealed in a Sunday interview with Reuters by Devakumar Edwin, the vice president of Dangote Industry Limited (DIL).

According to Edwin, the refinery that produces 650,000 barrels per day would search outside of Libya and Angola for crude oil in order to boost output at its plant.

Dangote reveals how they paid $100m for refinery land, received no incentive from Nigerian govt

“We are talking to Libya about importing crude.

“We will talk to Angola, as well and some other countries in Africa,” Edwin told Reuters.

This happened after the company looked for crude oil in Brazil and the United States.

Recall how the Dangote refinery was the talk of the Nigerian media a few days ago after Farouk Ahmed, the CEO of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, claimed that the refinery’s products were inferior.
