Nigeria’s Dangote Refinery, one of the largest privately-owned oil refineries in Africa, has reached an impressive 85% of its refining capacity, signaling significant progress towards full-scale operations. This milestone was confirmed by Edwin Devakumar, the head of the refinery, who stated that the facility is now refining 550,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil. The refinery, which is capable of processing 650,000 bpd, is expected to deliver European-standard refined products by January, further solidifying its position as a major player in the global oil refining market.
