“This first export of PMS to Cameroon is a tangible demonstration of our vision for a united and energy-independent Africa. With this development, we are laying the foundation for a future where African resources are refined and exchanged within the continent for the benefit of our people,” Dangote said.

The partnership between Dangote Refinery and Neptune Oil is expected to have far-reaching benefits for Cameroon’s energy security. Antoine Ndzengue, Director and Owner of Neptune Oil, expressed his enthusiasm, describing the partnership as a turning point for the country’s energy sector.

“By becoming the first importer of petroleum products from this world-class refinery, we are bolstering our country’s energy security and supporting local economic development,” he said.
