The Dangote Group has unveiled a $40 billion, five-year expansion plan that would more than double its Lagos refinery to 1.4 million barrels per day. But that’s only half the story. The company also aims to quadruple urea fertilizer output to 12 million metric tons, potentially becoming the world’s largest producer. Backed by major financing from institutions like the African Export-Import Bank, this Vision 2030 push targets $100 billion in annual revenue by decade’s end. For Nigeria, that means stronger energy security and export power. For Africa, it could mean less reliance on imported fuel and fertilizer—boosting food production and stabilizing markets. Dangote isn’t just building an empire. He’s reshaping a continent’s supply chain.
