Nigeria's Dangote Group is expanding its refining and petrochemical operations as part of a major investment programme.
The company plans to increase polypropylene capacity from 900,000 tons per year to 2.4 million tons per year. At the same time, refinery capacity is expected to double from 700,000 barrels per day to 1.4 million barrels per day by 2029.
The expansion will further strengthen Nigeria's position in Africa's refining and petrochemical industry.
