The Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Abiy Ahmed, and Djibouti’s President, Ismaïl Omar Guelleh, have expressed support for Dangote Group’s $660m Damarjog-Dewele Oil Terminal and Pipeline Project, saying it could strengthen energy security and trade links between the two countries.
Dangote supplied approximately 35.87 million litres daily in August, accounting for 71% of petrol receipts, according to NMDPRA figures reported by Punch on September 24. These are supply figures, rather than motorists’ purchases.
