“We have listed all our businesses. The NSE (Nigerian Stock Exchange) will not have adequate depth to handle exclusively the petroleum refinery. We would have to take it to LSE (London Stock Exchange) but also list in NSE.”
When it reaches full capacity this year or next, the $20 billion refinery will be the largest refinery in Africa and Europe, with a capacity of up to 650,000 barrels per day (bpd).
Dangote has been attempting to obtain an oil supply for his refinery. After putting out a contract for 2 million barrels of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Midland crude every month for a year beginning in July, the company signed its first supply agreement with TotalEnergies in May, as per the tender documents.
His holdings include Dangote Sugar, Dangote Flour Mills, and Dangote Cement (DANGCEM.LG), all of which are traded on the Nigerian stock exchange.
Dangote makes changes to diesel price
Legit.ng previously reported that Dangote Petroleum Refinery raised the diesel price from N940 per litre to N1,100 due to the slide in the naira's value against the US dollar.
On April 17, 2024, the refinery reduced the product's price from N1,200 per litre to N1,000, following marketers' calls for a price slash.
On April 24, 2024, the refinery crashed the diesel and aviation fuel prices to N940 per litre and N980, respectively.
