Nigeria's 🇳🇬 Dangote Refinery in Lagos has begun direct jet fuel supply to Ethiopian Airlines 🇪🇹, deepening energy ties with Africa’s largest carrier. This is a major step for the refinery as it expands across the continent and supports regional aviation. The deal also helps reduce reliance on fuel imports from outside Africa at a time of tight global supply. The refinery is operating at full capacity of 650,000 barrels per day, with jet fuel exports rising to about 158,000 barrels per day. Demand has grown after supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Europe remains the biggest buyer, but exports within Africa are increasing, strengthening Nigeria’s role in global energy markets.
