Spanning nearly 4,000 football fields, construction of the refinery began in 2016 at the Lekki Free Zone outside of Lagos, Nigeria, and it opened in May 2023.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Dangote\u2019s company says the plant will have the capability to\u00a0produce 650,000 barrels per day\u00a0once fully operational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nigeria is one of Africa\u2019s largest oil producers, yet the country has lacked the capability to refine its oil forcing it to rely on imported fuel<em>.<\/em>\u00a0With the opening of this refinery, Dangote Industries Ltd., a massive conglomerate that also operates\u00a0cement plants, a fertilizer plant, and sugar refinery, says it aims to process enough oil to not only make Nigeria self-sufficient but supply petrol, diesel, and jet fuel to other African countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that the $19 billion facility is complete, Dangote stressed it will take time for local oil producers to shift away from relying on overseas refineries, but it\u2019s a challenge he\u2019s confident he can overcome: \u201cI\u2019ve been fighting battles all my life, so I don\u2019t get scared of anything,\u201d he told CNN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In May, CNN\u2019s Eleni Giokos got an inside look at the refinery and spoke with Dangote about what it took to bring this massive project to life and what impact it will have within the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CNN<\/strong>: Do local oil companies, oil producers want to sell crude to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Aliko Dangote:<\/strong>\u00a0Nobody thought we were going to appear in this industry. So with that, we know there are challenges and that\u2019s the truth, I have to be very open to you, but NNPC, [Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation], they\u2019ve been very helpful. They do their own bit, but some of the IOCs [international oil companies] they\u2019re struggling to give us crude because everybody\u2019s used to exporting and nobody wants to stop exporting, which does not make sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CNN<\/strong>: What\u2019s the timeline of Nigeria being completely self-sufficient producing oil, refining oil locally and exporting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dangote:<\/strong>&nbsp;Well, if the NNPC put all their refineries to work, Nigeria will be the largest petroleum products export country in the continent. Not only in the continent &#8211; it\u2019ll be one of the biggest (worldwide), not as much as India but almost. So let me talk about Dangote Refinery: 40% of our refining products will go outside Nigeria. So that is after meeting the entire demand of Nigeria. We will meet the demand 100%. By June or so, we should be able to fully meet Nigeria\u2019s demand and then because we\u2019re ramping up already, we\u2019re a little bit over 420,000 barrels per day already. So, as we go along, ramping up, I believe by July\/August we should be at almost 550,000 barrels per day. Then maybe before end of the year we\u2019ll be at about 650,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CNN<\/strong>: In addition to building the oil refinery, you also built a cement manufacturing plant and have become one of the largest cement producers in sub-Saharan Africa. Did it make economic sense at the time to build a cement plant and compete effectively with imported cement prices?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dangote:<\/strong>\u00a0We didn\u2019t have much challenge because we were also the importers and there was massive demand in terms of cement. So, what we did was actually to continue with the trading by building capacity. When we started, our first plant was 5 million metric tons, and at that time, the entire production in Nigeria was 2.1 million metric tons. But we went ahead very aggressively \u2013 we invested our money, we risked our capital, and we made the country self-sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CNN<\/strong>: I\u2019ve heard you talk a lot about the\u00a0African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA)<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>and whether it\u2019s viable. You have experience doing cross-border trade and even you\u2019ve got issues getting your cement across borders in certain parts of the continent, so what\u2019s happening?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dangote:<\/strong>\u00a0The AfCFTA will be very, very beneficial and if you\u2019re thinking about benefit, our company will almost be one of the top five in terms of benefiting from the free trade agreement. But I have not seen any improvement [yet]. That\u2019s the truth because we have 3 million tons of urea [a type of fertilizer] to export to African countries. It\u2019s too much for Nigeria\u2019s consumption. We have petroleum projects to export. We have cement also to export. So what makes sense is to have the free trade agreement work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For us to cross that hurdle \u2013 because the trade between us [African countries] is only about 16%, which is too low \u2013 we have to make sure that all the regional markets work. We have to remove requirements of visas. We have to allow free movement of people, free movement of goods and services, then the AfCFTA will work \u2013 without that it\u2019s almost impossible. I mean, you look at it today, I\u2019m going to Egypt tomorrow, but I need a visa. They\u2019re saying that yes, okay, fine, they\u2019ll give me visa on arrival if I have an American [passport]. I have an African passport, so they\u2019re discounting me being an African. So how do we trade if you are not allowing me into your own country?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CNN<\/strong>: So how are imports affecting industrialization and local growth of value chains?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dangote<\/strong>: Well, it will actually destroy the industrialization of Africa, if we continue to import. The more you import, you are importing poverty into your continent and exporting jobs. Because wherever you are importing from, you are encouraging them to keep expanding. When they expand, they recruit more people, give more jobs to their people. But here, the little jobs that we need to create, they destroy that. So, I\u2019m not a big fan of imports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m a big fan of industrialization and Africa can be industrialized, but we, Africans, are the only ones that can industrialize Africa. Nobody is going to come and do it for us. We have to have good policies and the policies have to be consistent, and then we have to make sure that the investment climate is good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past eight years, Aliko Dangote, Africa\u2019s richest man, has built one of the\u00a0world\u2019s largest oil refineries.
