Nigeria to Supply Dangote Refinery with 400,000 Barrels Daily

Published

on


The Federal Government plans to supply the Dangote refinery with up to 400,000 barrels of Nigerian crude oil daily under its naira-for-crude agreement, as reported by Bloomberg. This initiative will be implemented over the next two months, totaling 24 million barrels between October and November 2024.

The deal is expected to enhance the refinery’s operations and significantly impact the local oil market by reducing Nigeria’s crude exports. The Dangote refinery, the largest in Africa, will require 13 to 14 shipments from Nigeria’s typical monthly crude cargo of about 50, potentially lowering national exports to below 1 million barrels per day.

Although some shipments may face delays, the planned supply is much larger than the 255,000 barrels a day the refinery received during the first half of the year. As the refinery approaches full capacity, Nigeria may finally reduce its reliance on costly oil product imports, impacting the West African gasoline and diesel markets.

New Telecom that Allows Minutes Instead of Airtime for Calls Launches in Nigeria

Nigerians now have a new choice when it comes to making calls and browsing the internet. A new telecom company called LEBARA has launched in the country with a new idea. Instead of the usual airtime system that most networks use, this company is offering something different, subscribers will now buy call minutes and data directly.

What makes this different is that customers will only pay for what they actually use. If you buy 100 minutes, those minutes are yours until you use them up. If you make a call that lasts only 30 seconds, the rest of your time remains, leaving you with 99 minutes and 30 seconds. Nothing is taken away without your knowledge, and every second is accounted for.

The company is rolling out its services with the new 0724 number series, and it already has connections with all the major networks in Nigeria. This means subscribers will be able to call friends, family, and business contacts across MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile and others without any problems. They have also been licensed as a Tier 5 Mobile Virtual Network Operator, which is the highest category approved by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).

Company officials explained that the goal is to give Nigerians more freedom, fairness, and transparency. For years, people have raised concerns about airtime being deducted too quickly or without clear explanation. By introducing a minutes-based model, the new operator wants to end that problem once and for all. Subscribers can clearly see what they paid for, how much they have used, and what is left.
