Ojulari praised the President of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, for delivering the 650,000 barrels-per-day refinery, describing it as a project that positions Nigeria as a major downstream hub in Africa.
He said the alliance would unlock synergies across assets, infrastructure, capital, and markets, while providing clearer visibility into NNPC–Dangote business relations.
Ojulari added that the partnership offers strong potential for expansion into upstream operations, trading, shipping, and gas supply.
He also commended Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his leadership in the oil and gas sector, citing policy clarity and investor-friendly reforms as key drivers of confidence in the industry.
Dangote said Nigerians would benefit from the collaboration through economies of scale and increased value across markets.
NNPC Limited currently holds a 7.25 percent stake in the Dangote Refinery, describing it as a strategic investment aligned with its downstream growth objectives and commitment to domestic refining.
Both parties reaffirmed their commitment to deeper cooperation to ensure energy security, support industrial growth, and deliver long-term value to Nigerians.
