Aliko Dangote's plan to transform Nigeria's energy sector through the Dangote Refinery has encountered significant setbacks, leading him to offer his shares to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC).

Initially celebrated as a groundbreaking initiative, the 650,000 barrels per day (bpd) refinery aimed to make Nigeria self-sufficient in refined petroleum products, but a series of financial and operational challenges have shifted the project's course dramatically.

The refinery, located in the Lekki Free Trade Zone, Lagos, was designed to be the largest in Africa and the world’s biggest single-train facility. It was expected to produce 50 million liters of petrol and 15 million liters of diesel daily, along with 4.6 million tonnes of diesel and 4 million tonnes of jet fuel per year.

However, financial troubles started when NNPC failed to meet its payment obligations. Despite an agreement to acquire a 20% stake in the refinery for $2.76 billion, NNPC only managed to pay for a 7.2% stake, creating a significant funding shortfall.

The size of that refinery was massive...

Maybe Dangote actually bit more than he could chew out of greed.

Maybe he should have started with a smaller refinery and gradually expanded with time.

I hope Rabiu Abdul Samad is taking notes!
