• One of the sources said the group wants regional capital markets to take part, with Kenya potentially raising $500 ​million.
• Africa’s richest ​man, Aliko ⁠Dangote, built the refinery at a cost of roughly $20 billion. It ​started fuel production in 2024 ​and ⁠reached full capacity earlier this year.
• The 650,000 barrel per day refinery is Africa’s largest, and ⁠Nigerian ​state oil firm NNPC ​holds a stake of just over 7%.
