The United States has secured a massive energy deal with Africa’s largest refinery, Dangote Refinery, purchasing over 2 million barrels of jet fuel in a move that underscores Nigeria’s growing influence in the global energy market.

This transaction marks a historic shift as the Dangote Refinery, which began production in 2024, strengthens its position as a key player in international fuel supply. The U.S., a dominant buyer in the global energy sector, turning to Nigeria for jet fuel signals a shift in supply dynamics and further cements the refinery’s strategic importance.
