Dangote fertilizer plant is expected to take off at the end of the first quarter of 2020 and may propel Nigeria towards self-sufficient in fertilizer production. The size of the plant is said to be twice that of Eleme petrochemicals in Rivers, Nigeria.

               
           
               
                   

The refinery, when completed, will have the capacity to process about 650,000 barrels per day of crude oil.
