NNPC to supply Dangote’s refinery by December for test runs 

NNPC Ltd, Nigeria’s state oil company, is preparing to supply Dangote’s new 650,000-barrel-per-day oil refinery with up to six crude oil shipments in December for trial operations.

The refinery, backed by Aliko Dangote, is expected to reshape oil trading in the Atlantic Basin and could impact European and U.S. fuel exports to Africa. The Dangote refinery, located near Lagos in the Lekki Free Trade Zone, aims to make Nigeria a net exporter of fuels.
