All profits goes to Dangote, making him more richer everyday
But all profits were going to foreign refineries before

What of the employment and the taxes?

So we are still importing? But APC Tinubu government said portharcourt refinery is exporting petrol to Dubai.
Stop talking nonsense. Tinubu said we're exporting PMS. He didn't say it was from the port Harcourt refinery.

He has earned it ..

I see no wrong if the whole country depends on dangote for fuel .. if the government doesnt want to monopolize him , they should build up more refineries which is a win for Nigeria..
Importing is so wrong at this this point .. Na why NNPC pump price is higher than a regular filling stations which doesn't usually be the case..

Illiteracy is an affliction that nobody deserves😭. Even the largest producers and exporters (United States and Russia) of oil in the world still import.
In a working economy, importation and exportation must go in tandem--they should balance each other.

How is this an achievement for Nigeria? Nigeria has no business importing fuel or any crude oil products if Nigeria is working. It should be the other way around a net exporter instead.


Biodun556:
South Africa Overtakes Nigeria as Africa’s Largest Fuel Importer. South Africa is currently Africa’s largest importer of petrol, a position it gained in mid-2025 after the Dangote Refinery significantly reduced Nigeria’s need for imported fuel. In the first quarter of 2025, South Africa imported 4.2 million metric tonnes of fuel, compared to Nigeria’s 3.1 million metric tonnes, according to energy consultancy CITAC.

Good news for Nigeria. Only those who understands economics can comprehend
Gbam, the AI feature in the internet is rapidly growing on me. Does Dangote industries export refined oil to other African nations?

AI Overview
"Yes, Dangote Industries exports refined petroleum products, including gasoline and jet fuel, to other African nations, with exports to countries like Ghana, Angola, South Africa, Cameroon, and other West and Central African nations confirmed. The Dangote refinery has significantly reduced West Africa's dependence on imported fuel, establishing itself as a key supplier for the region. "

He deserves it, he worked for it, he took the risks. He was rejected in 3 states before Lagos and risk all his wealth. So, let him enjoy all the profit since others Biuld Thiers abroad.

Always take what comes out of the APC Tinubu government’s mouth with a pinch of salt.

You’re coming across as arrogant with your questions. Let’s respect each other. Just because this is a faceless space doesn’t mean you should belittle people. I’m in the tech business, and this year alone I’ve earned couple thousands of dollars from software exports. I may consider it small scale, but it is still export and I have of proof international business activity with funds. So instead of inflating your ego and dismissing others, try to show some respect.
