Dangote Group, founded by Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote, said government delays on a 15 percent fuel import duty will not derail its refinery expansion plans. The group remains committed to boosting capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day, more than double its current output.
Anthony Chiejina, the Groups Chief Branding and Communications Officer, said the companys roadmap remains unchanged. The deferment cannot stop the effort to upgrade capacity. We are planning for tomorrow, not today, he said.
Expansion plans remain firm
