Dangote Refinery Complex in Nigeria Set to Cost $19 Billion
🎤National petroleum company is buying 20% stake in the project

A giant oil refinery complex being built in Nigeria by a company owned by Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest person, will cost more than double the amount originally projected.

“Our capex will almost go to $19 billion by the time we finish,” Devakumar Edwin, group executive director of Dangote Industries Ltd., said in an interview broadcast on Arise News on Aug. 31. The facility near Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial hub, was expected to cost $9 billion eight years ago, a price tag that had climbed to $15 billion by 2019.

The 650,000 barrel-a-day refinery is part of a vast petrochemical project that will also house the world’s biggest ammonia plant. Once operational, the facility is intended to curb, or even end, the nation’s dependence on fuel imports -- a source of embarrassment for the government of Africa’s largest crude oil refinery.

The refinery will be able to supply all the gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel used in the West African country, and a third of its output will still be available for export, Dangote told the Lagos-based television station. Originally set for completion in 2016, the project is now expected to be commissioned next year.

State-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corp., which is in the process of buying a 20% stake in the complex for $2.7 billion, will pay a third of the purchase price in cash, Dangote said. Another third will be covered by supplying crude to the refinery, and the remainder “will be paid from the profit they are going to make from the business,” he said.

The NNPC said in June that the African Export-Import Bank is raising up to $1 billion to help it finance the aquisition of the 20% share of the refinery.
