On May 22, 2025, Dangote Petroleum Refinery began production of polypropylene and signed an export deal with Vinmar Group, a global leader in petrochemical distribution. This marks a significant step in Nigeria’s shift from raw exports to value-added industrial production.
While Nigeria enters global markets with industrial exports, many at home still depend on unstable grid power.
“Nigeria is exporting industrial power. Are you still waiting for NEPA?”
What Happened: The Dangote Refinery’s Polypropylene Launch
- Polypropylene is a plastic used in packaging, textiles, and automotive parts.
- It’s made from oil byproducts — a refined, high-value material.
- Dangote signed an exclusive distribution deal with Vinmar Group on May 22, 2025.
The message is clear: Nigeria is open for business. Industrialisation has begun. But it won’t reach everyone equally.
The Bottleneck: Nigeria’s Power Crisis
According to the World Bank, over 85 million Nigerians still lack grid electricity. Even those with access face:
- Daily blackouts
- High diesel costs
- Unpredictable NEPA supply
This threatens the very industrial boom we’re celebrating. Without reliable power, factories stall. Businesses lose money. Dreams die in the dark.
Smart Nigerians Are Creating Their Own Power
Entrepreneurs, homeowners, and SMEs are flipping the script by:
