Dangote’s Crude Shipment From NNPCL To Hit 5m Barrel

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL has supplied one million barrel of crude oil to the Dangote Refinery.

It’s the second time in less than a month that the multi-billion naira petrochemical refinery owned by Africa’s Richest Man, Aliko Dangote has received crude from NNPCL, which had earlier supplied one million barrel to the company.

The dearth of crude supply to the refinery had stalled it’s plan to produce petrol, diesel and other allied products since July this year.

Recall that former President Muhammadu Buhari while officially commissioning the refinery in May this year, declared that it would commence operation in July.

Dangote confirmed that the company has received the crude shipment on Wednesday.

An additional three million barrels of crude are expected to be delivered to the company by December ending, the refinery management said.
