The Federal Government has approved Dangote Refinery as the exclusive supplier of jet fuel for Nigeria’s airline operators. With my blessing, it’s a decision from the airline operators in Nigeria that they should only buy from Dangote refinery Jet A1. I’m sure we are going to have access to cheaper Jet A1 fuel,” Keyamo said. In April, the Dangote refinery commenced operations, starting with the production of jet fuel and diesel, with the diesel reaching the local market by the following month. So far, Dangote has exported six cargoes of jet fuel and kerosene, all of which were delivered to Senegal, Togo, or Ghana.
