Nigeria, Africa's second largest oil exporter, plans to end the importation of refined petroleum products this year. It also looks to end a long standing, highly costly fuel subsidy. To reach that goal, the country is banking mainly on the 650,000 barrels per day output of the Dangote Refinery. The facility is being built in the commercial city of Lagos, and it is expected to begin operations by the second quarter of 2023.
