Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Dangote Refinery said it is seeking crude oil import from Libya and Angola amid a supply challenge in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The Vice President of Dangote Industry Limited (DIL), Devakumar Edwin disclosed this in an interview with Reuters on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Edwin said outside Libya and Angola, the 650,000 barrels per day refinery would also look to other African countries for crude to increase production in its facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are talking to Libya about importing crude.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will talk to Angola, as well and some other countries in Africa,\u201d Edwin told Reuters.<\/p>\n

The development comes after the firm had sought crude oil from the United States and Brazil.<\/p>\n

Recall that in the past days, the Dangote refinery had been at the center of discussion in Nigeria\u2019s media discourse following a statement by the Chief Executive Officer of Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, Farouk Ahmed that its products are inferior.<\/p>\n

Ahmed\u2019s has received a wide range of reactions from the public.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Aliko Dangote, the Chairman of Dangote Group has dismissed Ahmed\u2019s statement, calling for an independent test.<\/p>\n
