Photos: Take a sneak peek at the Dangote refinery

Africa's largest refinery, the Dangote refinery is set to begin operation on Monday, May 22.

It is reported to process 650,000 barrels of oil per day.

The oil processing facility has been designed to process crude oil grades from the three continents of Africa, Asia and America.

It was also gathered that the refinery would deliver a surplus of about 38 million liters of petrol, diesel, kerosene and aviation fuel for Nigeria daily, hence it would meet the 100 percent fuel supply requirement of the country.

Data in a document obtained from the company, on Sunday, showed that the Dangote Refinery could support the establishment of 26,716 fillings stations, create 100,000 direct and indirect jobs, and provide a $21bn market for Nigerian crude oil annually.

Early this month, The PUNCH reported that the Dangote Refinery, established by Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, is scheduled to be inaugurated on May 22.

A presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, had tweeted that the inauguration would be done by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
