  • How many jobs will be created through Nigeria's oil refinery project?
  • More than 100,000 direct and indirect jobs are expected to be created through the project, the Lagos State government has said. After several years of delays, Africa's largest oil refinery was commissioned Monday by the outgoing Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari.
  • When will Aliko Dangote Refinery open?
  • Built by Africa's richest person Aliko Dangote in the commercial hub of Lagos, the refinery should begin operations in June with the first products expected on the market by August though some analysts said it could be later. Once at full capacity, it will have the ability to process 650,000 barrels a day, according to the company.
  • What is Africa's largest oil refinery?
  • Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday commissioned an oil plant billed as Africa's largest oil refinery, after years of delays and a week before stepping down from office.
  • Why does Nigeria rely on crude oil?
  • For decades, Africa's most populous nation and one of the continent's largest crude producers has depended on fuel imports to meet local demand because of under-performing state-run refineries. Nigeria swaps crude worth billions of dollars for gasoline that it then subsidises for its domestic market.
  • How many barrels of crude will Nigeria produce a day?
  • The delivery of the first one million barrels of crude will be followed by five million more, which should then allow the plant to begin producing fuel. When fully operational, the $19bn (£15bn) facility in Nigeria's commercial hub, Lagos, is predicted to produce about 650,000 barrels per day.
  • Will Dangote Refinery be a big step in energy self-sufficiency?
  • For years, the oil-rich nation has not been able to refine the product. Importing refined oil has imposed some extra costs on the country. It is not clear when the mammoth Dangote refinery will start working but once running, it will be a big step in reaching energy self-sufficiency.
