Ambassador-Designate Suzuki Visits the Dangote Refinery

On 13 December 2024, Ambassador-Designate SUZUKI Hideo, together with representatives from Japanese companies and the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), visited the Dangote Refinery in Lagos. The refinery is regarded as a "game changer" for the Nigerian economy and stands as one of the most important industrial facilities in the country.

The Dangote Refinery is expected to reduce Nigeria's reliance on fuel imports, create jobs, and drive economic growth, marking a key step toward energy self-sufficiency. Furthermore, its impact is anticipated to extend across Africa and, ultimately, influence the global energy market.
