June 16, 2025--Written by Paul Wiseman for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--When construction began on Dangote Industries' Lekki Refinery in Lagos, Nigeria, in 2016, it had a purpose. Aliko Dangote, considered to be Africa's richest man, announced his goal was to produce enough fuel to make Nigeria self-sufficient and to supply gasoline, diesel and jet fuel to other African nations. Originally expected to open in 2020, the refinery (whose site is equal in size to 4,000 football fields) faced a number of delays involving both mechanical and crude supply issues. Finally, it began producing significant amounts of refined product early this year.
