Aliko Dangote Offers to Sell Multibillion-Dollar Oil Refinery to NNPC Amid Dispute.

Africa’s wealthiest man, Aliko Dangote, has expressed his willingness to transfer ownership of his multibillion-dollar oil refinery to the state-owned energy company NNPC Limited. This announcement comes amidst a new dispute with a key equity partner and ongoing conflicts with regulatory authorities in Nigeria.

The refinery, with a capacity of 650,000 barrels per day, began operations last year after a decade of construction and a total cost of $19 billion, significantly exceeding the initial estimate. It was designed to reduce Africa’s biggest oil producer’s dependence on imported fuel and save up to 30 percent of the foreign exchange spent on imports.
