Aliko Dangote expresses confidence in overcoming opposition from vested interests seeking to undermine his $20 billion refinery and Nigeria’s energy independence

[dropcap]A[/dropcap]frica’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has voiced his unwavering determination to overcome alleged sabotage efforts targeting his 650,000 barrels per day oil refinery in Lekki, Lagos.

Speaking at an investor forum in Lagos on Friday, Dangote identified individuals profiting from long-standing government-subsidized oil imports as the forces behind the opposition to his refinery’s smooth operation.

According to an international news report, Dangote believes these groups are also funding resistance to the Bola Tinubu administration’s removal of petrol subsidies, viewing the Dangote refinery as a threat to their established dominance in Nigeria’s energy sector.

Despite these challenges, Dangote remains resolute, drawing on his history as a “long-time fighter” to express absolute confidence in ultimate victory.

Dangote’s recent comments echo previous alarms he raised about alleged sabotage by oil import cartels and international oil companies reportedly denying his refinery adequate local crude supply.

He had also accused the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority of issuing licenses for the importation of substandard petroleum products.

We’re fighting, and the fight is not yet finished. But I have been fighting all my life, and I am ready and 100 per cent sure I will win at the end of the day,

Support for Dangote’s stance has emerged from key industry players. The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has pledged its support, with its Publicity Secretary, Chinedu Udadike, affirming Dangote’s promise to fight for the benefit of Nigerians against those seeking to maintain the status quo.

The National President of the Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN), Billy Gillis-Harry, also called for a level playing field in the downstream sector.

The Dangote refinery, which commenced petrol production last September, is anticipated to significantly reduce Nigeria’s reliance on expensive imported refined fuel, a move that has already begun to impact pump prices.

With its naira-for-crude deal, the refinery aims to ensure a stable fuel supply for Nigeria, Africa, and the global market.

Dangote’s firm stance signals a continued battle for control within Nigeria’s energy sector, with high stakes for the nation’s economic independence and the future of its downstream petroleum industry.
