The Dangote Group is set to more than double its fertilizer production capacity in a major push to meet growing regional demand and expand exports across Africa. Speaking in Abuja, Chief Strategy Officer Aliyu Suleiman revealed the $2.5 billion plant, already Africa’s largest granulated-urea facility, will anchor this expansion alongside new investments in other fertilizer segments. The group is also eyeing broader growth, with plans to scale up its 650,000 bpd refinery and transition fully to Nigerian crude by the end of 2025. As Nigeria becomes a net exporter of petroleum products, Dangote is pushing to list both the refinery and the urea plant on the country’s stock exchange. With high-profile support, the company will undoubtedly reshape Africa’s energy and agricultural industries.
