🇳🇬 Dangote calls for level playing field after court ruling on Lagos refinery

Aliko Dangote has called for a level playing field in Nigeria’s petroleum downstream sector after a court ruling dealt a setback to his Lagos-based refinery, as the company continues to compete with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company and independent marketers over access to the domestic fuel market. The dispute centres on whether local supply from the Dangote refinery should take precedence over continued fuel imports.

The case highlights an ongoing struggle in Nigeria’s downstream oil sector between the state-owned NNPC, private importers and Dangote’s refinery, which is seeking a larger share of domestic distribution. The ruling comes amid continued tensions over fuel import rights and market access.
