By prince Benson Davies
The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has facilitated the exportation of over 500,000 tonnes of petroleum products from the Dangote Refinery to other African countries in March 2026. NPA Managing Director, Dr Abubakar Dantsoho, announced this at a stakeholders’ engagement in Lagos, attributing the success to the One-Stop-Shop (OSS) policy initiated by Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Dr Adegboyega Oyetola.
Dantsoho stated that despite global challenges, including the war in the Middle East affecting vessel movement, Nigeria remains strong in petroleum supply, meeting domestic needs and exporting to other countries. The OSS policy ensures all stakeholders at the Dangote Refinery are aligned, enhancing operations.
He highlighted Nigeria’s resilience, noting that citizens aren’t queueing for energy, unlike in other countries. The NPA has efficiently handled ship operations, facilitating exports. Dantsoho credited Minister Oyetola’s policy for the achievements, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and streamlined processes.
The Dangote Refinery’s export success marks a significant milestone for Nigeria’s energy sector, showcasing the country’s potential as a key player in African energy markets. The refinery’s operations have created opportunities for economic growth and development in the region.
Dantsoho also praised the efforts of NPA staff and stakeholders for their role in achieving this milestone. He reiterated the NPA’s commitment to supporting Nigeria’s energy sector and promoting economic development.
