Dangote Refinery Gears Up For Fuel Exports As African Countries Show Strong Interest

Published

on

The Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical, with its 650,000-barrel-per-day capacity, is set to begin fuel exports across several African nations, including South Africa, Angola, and Namibia.

Sources revealed that talks with these countries are at advanced stages, with four other countries—Niger, Chad, Burkina Faso, and the Central African Republic—also starting negotiations to lift fuel from the refinery. Ghana has also expressed interest, as the country’s National Petroleum Authority plans to reduce its $400 million monthly fuel imports from Europe by working with Dangote’s $20 billion facility based in Lekki, Nigeria.

“I can confirm to you that talk is actually at advance stage with Ghana, Angola, Namibia, and South Africa,” a source shared, adding that several other countries are expected to follow suit in the coming months.

Meanwhile, local Nigerian fuel marketers have taken a different stance, opting to continue fuel imports from outside Nigeria, claiming that fuel from the Dangote refinery is priced too high for local distribution.

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) and the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) recently requested approvals from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) to proceed with cheaper fuel imports. The marketers argue that importing more affordable petrol would relieve consumers adjusting to price increases following the removal of the fuel subsidy.

The NMDPRA clarified that it only issues fuel import licenses to individual marketers rather than associations, emphasizing that permits must be granted individually. PETROAN’s spokesperson, Dr. Joseph Obele, however, accused Dangote of attempting to monopolize the market, asserting, “Dangote is just out to close all the doors and windows so that no person enters the market. He is determined to ensure that nobody enters the market as a competitor.”

Obele further urged support from Nigerians to dismantle monopolies, emphasizing that increased competition could lower prices and improve fuel quality.

Davido Is Richer Than His Billionaire Father – Ibrahim Chatta Claims

Published

on

Renowned Nollywood actor, Ibrahim Chatta, has sparked conversation by claiming that award-winning singer Davido is richer and more influential than his billionaire father, Dr. Adedeji Adeleke.

Chatta made this statement while addressing the importance of respecting individuals in positions of authority, regardless of their age. He argued that accomplishments, not age, determine who an elder is. Using historical references, Chatta cited Alexander the Great, who achieved incredible feats before his death at 33, as an example of youthful greatness.

“God purposely placed some certain people in some positions, but you guys are looking at their age. It’s not about the age; any younger person that possesses things that belong to elders, is an elder,” Chatta said.

The actor emphasized that Davido’s wealth and influence surpass those of his father, despite Dr. Adeleke’s established status as a billionaire. Chatta highlighted the global recognition and adoration Davido commands, describing the singer as someone who garners immense loyalty and admiration.

“I was just looking at the numbers of people surrounding Davido the day I sat with him, I was just seeing how people were ready to be killed just to get to him. He is an elder. Davido’s father is a billionaire that has been doing big things before the singer’s arrival. His father is rich but not as Davido. If his dad is passing by, you might not recognise him, but if Davido passes here, a stampede will happen.”

Chatta’s remarks have stirred reactions across social media, with many debating whether fame and influence should outweigh wealth in defining success.
