The Dangote Group has expressed gratitude to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) for supplying 60% of the crude oil required by the Dangote Refinery in Lagos.
The refinery’s chief strategy officer, Aliyu Suleiman, disclosed that out of 50 million barrels of crude oil purchased by the refinery, 60% was supplied by NNPC, while 20% was imported and 20% purchased from other sources.
Despite this, Dangote Refinery has reiterated its challenges in securing adequate crude oil supply for its operations, blaming the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) for its alleged failure to enforce the domestic crude supply obligation.
