Nigeria’s Dangote Refinery has appointed the former head of Oman’s Duqm refinery, David Bird, as chief executive officer of its petroleum and petrochemicals business.
This was disclosed by S & P Global Commodity Insights on
Friday.
Bird’s appointment takes effect from July 2025.
The move is aimed at overcoming production challenges and
advancing the $20 billion refinery to its next phase of expansion.
Meanwhile, the refinery’s founder, Aliko Dangote, will
remain chairman of the refining business.
The development comes as the 650,000-barrel-per-day refinery
finalises plans to roll out premium motor spirit and automotive gas oil distribution
nationwide from August 2025, a move opposed by the country’s petroleum products
marketers.
The refinery officially commenced fuel rollout in September last year and has since continued to ramp up production capacity.
