    Clan Reporters Posted on

    The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced the approval of Dangote Refinery as the sole supplier of jet fuel, also known as Jet A1, for Nigeria’s airline operators.

    The information was made known to the public by the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, during an interview with Channels TV, which aired on Tuesday.

    Keyamo stated that the airline operators, with his approval and support, agreed to allow the 650,000 bpd refinery to be the exclusive provider of jet fuel to the operators.He explained that the timing is ideal, as the federal government recently implemented the naira-for-crude agreement with Dangote. He emphasized that this arrangement would help ease the pressure on foreign exchange.

    “The airline operators just met recently. With my blessing, it’s a decision from the airline operators in Nigeria that they should only buy from Dangote refinery Jet A1.  

    “You can see that yesterday we started  naira-for-crude purchase with Dangote. It’s all Naira, no Dollar component,” Keyamo said.

    Additionally, Keyamo noted that sourcing petrol from Dangote would shield airline operators from the impact of crude oil price fluctuations, ultimately reducing their operational costs.

    “The price will no longer be subjected to the varying factors of the international market, nor the headwinds of oil price in the international market. It will be in local currency so we can be clear as to the cost of it. We will buy in naira. I’m sure we are going to have access to cheaper Jet A1 fuel,” Keyamo said.
