Dangote Group announced plans to transport processed products by sea

In a significant move to reduce pressure on the road network and facilitate exports to other African countries, Dangote Group has announced plans to transport refined petroleum products by sea.

This development was revealed by Fatima Wali-Abdurrahman, Senior Adviser to the Group President on Special Projects and Strategic Relations, in her statement, Sunday.

The company has built a jetty in the Lekki Free Zone to handle bulk cargo during the development of the refinery. “Currently, we export our products to many African countries through ports. “We also plan to reduce pressure on roads from the refinery by transporting finished petroleum products to other ports along the Nigerian coast by sea, for further distribution to inland areas,” explained Wali-Abdurrahman.

According to him, this initiative aims to reduce the burden on the road network while increasing economic growth through increasing exports.

Dangote Group, the main sponsor of the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry trade fair, attracted many people who wanted to know about its state-of-the-art oil refinery, which recently started dispensing petroleum products.

Participants explored the company’s various business units, including Dangote Fertilizer, Dangote Sugar, NASCON (Dangote Salt), and Dangote Cement. Many participants, such as Peter Ibrahim and Sale Sagir, were enthusiastic about exploring opportunities within the company.

The statement also highlighted the company’s investment in Compressed Natural Gas to reduce its carbon footprint and costs. Wali-Abdurrahman noted that the company has converted about a third of its fleet over the past decade and plans to continue this process.

ACCI President, Chief Emeka Obegolu, commended the Dangote Group for its significant role in Nigeria’s industrialization, citing its unwavering commitment to Nigeria’s development and its significant contribution to national income.
