The African Export-Import Bank has signed a $1.35bn financing facility in favour of Dangote Industries Limited.

In a statement by the continental bank, it was disclosed that the facility is part of a larger $4bn syndicated financing arrangement for Dangote Industries Limited in which Afreximbank acted as the Mandated Lead Arranger for the syndication.

This financing, one of the largest syndicated loans in recent African financial markets, will refinance capital expended on constructing the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals Complex—the biggest single-train refinery in the world with a capacity of 650,000 barrels per day. The financing support its continued growth trajectory.

Afreximbank contributed $1.35bn, the largest share among participating banks, a testament to its commitment to large-scale infrastructure that advances Africa’s industrialisation, energy security, and intra-African trade.

The President & Chairman of the Board of Directors at Afreximbank, Professor Benedict Oramah, said, “With this landmark deal, we once again demonstrate that Africa’s development can only be meaningfully financed from within. It is only when African institutions lead the way that others can follow. The journey to utilise African resources for its own economic transformation is well underway.

“Through the bank’s funding support, we are enhancing the capacity of the Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical Industries Ltd to produce and supply high-quality refined petroleum products to the Nigerian market, as well as for export to the entire continent and the world. Our energy security is in sight.”

President/Chief Executive of Dangote Industries Limited, Aliko Dangote, said, “Afreximbank’s contribution to this milestone financing underscores our shared vision to industrialise Africa from within. This refinancing strengthens our balance sheet and accelerates with ease the refinery’s supply of high-quality refined petroleum products across Africa.”

Afreximbank said since operations at the refinery complex began in February 2024, Afreximbank has continued to support the Dangote Refinery by providing key financing solutions for crude supply and product offtake, ensuring uninterrupted operations and reinforcing its role in Africa’s most significant refining intervention.
