Dangote refinery is aspiring to become the largest  in the world in few years to come.Owned  by billionaire richest Africa's investor Alhaji Aliyu Dangote,  who told world  press the  ambition he has  for his refinery,  which not only employs a large population of oil workers, and has been serving the large  Nigerian populace and Africa with the world beyond."We are more than doubling the barrels (per day)... to 1.4 million from 650,000," said Aliko Dangote, a Nigerian businessman who is Africa's richest person.He told a news conference  in Lagos,Nigeria that his  company will be bigger than the largest oil refinery in India which is Jamnagar refinery.Despite  being  the largest crude oil producer,Nigeria continues to import  all of its petrol due to corruption  and  mismanagement but Dangote's refinery aims to be  a gamechanger for Nigerians according to its  owners.It is still  troubling that despite  years of oil drilling in Portharcourt and Eket, Akwa  Ibom state, the populace are still sometimes suffering the effects of fuel shortages which is  what  they mostly use in powering their generator sets,cars and motorcycles. Shortages in petrol supply has been a source of  hardship to Nigerians as long queues  are constantly seen in its cities,with people carrying gallons and sometimes this is not safe  for Nigerians.But the businessman  told  the press that his refinery will be a gamechanger. Dangote  has so far  driven down petrol prices  as he  competes  with other providers and he hopes  to do more.He also exports aviation fuel, mainly to the United States,Europe and Brazil.A second privately owned refinery, BUA, is under construction by another Nigerian billionaire,Abdulsamad Rabiu.   

Dangote hopes to list his fuel company in the  Nigeria  stock  exchange(NSE).Due to the problems in  Nigeria's oil sector his move is progressive  as Nigeria's oil prices need to be driven down by competing companies.We hope that there will be more entrants into the oil sector as this will help the populace to have  better oil prices  and better  services  in the oil  sector.Recently there was oil strikes  in Nigeria  among  oil workers  from Pengassan the oil workers union,  with accusations that they didnot like  how  Dangote's  company has  been laying off local workers and hiring Indian expatriates, an allegation which the company refuted. Nigeria produces an average of 1.5 million barrels of oil per day, according to OPEC, but it is still short of its two million bpd target.Oil remains its  largest export,but despite years of oil drilling in its  oil producing states,  many Nigerians  remain  poor,which is very worrisome  to  many around the world who hope that  with the entrance  of  new  businesses in the oil  sector,more jobs will be created for young Nigerians  with  good  salaries . As  Dangote's  company continues to expand the world  watches  on to see what he is doing to provide more jobs  to the  young people  in cities  across the country.
