Dangote Petroleum Refinery begins exportation of products to neighbouring West African countries. A report was made that the Dangote refinery just shipped gasoline to the coast of Togo, West Africa.

Chairman of NPA, Ghana speaks at the OTL Africa Downstream Oil Conference in Lagos states that importing from Nigeria reduces prices and freight costs for them rather than importing from Europe.
“If the refinery reaches 650,000bpd a day capacity, all that volume cannot be consumed by Nigeria alone, so instead of us importing as we do right now from Rotterdam, it will be much easier for us to import from Nigeria and I believe that will bring down our prices,”
