This was made known by Mr. Ayirioritse Okerentie, the Deputy Regional Director of Dangote Cement, during the company’s Special Day at the ongoing 36th Enugu International Trade Fair themed “Developing Nigeria Industrial Sector/SMEs for Economic Advancement & Global Recognition” 

According to Okerentie, the products currently being exported include aviation fuel, naphtha, Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), and automotive gas oil, as reported by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

“Dangote Petroleum Refinery says it has begun exporting refined petroleum products to many African, European, American, and Asian markets. 

“The regional director listed the products to include aviation fuel and naphtha, Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) and automotive gas oil,” 

“Okerentie explained that Dangote Petrochemical Complex had kicked off the production of polypropylene, a major raw material used in textile, plastic, furniture, and pharmaceutical sectors,” the source read in part.

The Director stated that the Dangote Petrochemical Complex has begun producing polypropylene. This material is important for industries like textiles, plastics, furniture, and pharmaceuticals. The local production of this material will boost Nigeria’s industrial growth.

Okerentie highlighted some of Dangote’s contribution to national infrastructure development. He explained that the company helped in the reconstruction of important roads such as the Obajana-Kabba Road and the Apapa-Oshodi-Oworonshoki Expressway in Lagos.

He also noted ongoing investments in agriculture aimed at enhancing food security, with new agricultural products set to hit the market soon.

In March, Naijaonpoint reported that the Dangote Refinery had commenced production of polypropylene, with a capacity to produce 830,000 metric tonnes per year from two plants within the refinery.
