The Dangote Refinery achieved a historic milestone on Friday, September 26, 2025, as it exported gasoline from Nigeria to the United States for the first time.
A total of 320,000 barrels arrived at the Port of New York, marking a breakthrough that showcased Africa’s ability to meet the highest energy standards while strengthening its role in the global energy supply chain.
Speaking on the achievement, Alhaji Aliko Dangote expressed pride in Nigeria’s role in redefining Africa’s place in the global energy industry.
“I am honoured to see that Nigeria, through this achievement, is asserting its leadership and paving the way for an Africa that no longer exports only its raw resources, but also its expertise and added value.
Africa is ready. The world’s energy future can no longer be written without it”, Dangote posited.
