Dangote hosts NNPC GCEO Ojulari at Refinery Complex amid ongoing energy sector collaboration

President and Chief Executive of Dangote Industries Limited, Aliko Dangote, on Saturday, 21 February 2026, received the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC), Bayo Ojulari, alongside senior executives at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals.

The high-level meeting, held at the refinery complex, brought together key officials from both organisations, reflecting continued engagement between Nigeria’s largest private refinery and the state-owned oil company.

Sources familiar with the discussions indicated that talks focused on operational progress at the refinery, crude supply dynamics, and broader developments within Nigeria’s energy landscape. The engagement comes amid sustained public and industry interest in the refinery’s output capacity and its role in strengthening domestic fuel availability.

Dangote, widely regarded as Africa’s richest man, hosted the NNPC delegation as stakeholders continue to assess the refinery’s contribution to reducing fuel import dependence and enhancing national energy security.

The visit is seen as part of ongoing efforts to deepen collaboration between public and private sector players in the oil and gas industry, particularly at a time when Nigeria is seeking to stabilise fuel supply chains and optimise local refining capacity.

While no official communiqué detailing specific agreements was immediately released, the meeting underscores the strategic importance of coordination between NNPC and Dangote Petroleum Refinery in shaping the future of Nigeria’s downstream petroleum sector.
