AFC Commits $600mn to Back $7bn Dangote Fertiliser Expansion in Nigeria and Ethiopia
The financing supports a $7 billion plan to triple urea output in Nigeria and add a new plant in Ethiopia, AFC said.
- Africa Finance Corporation committed $600mn to support Dangote Group's $7bn fertilizer expansion program, aiming to triple production capacity in Nigeria and establish a major new manufacturing facility in Ethiopia.
- Despite possessing substantial natural-gas reserves and arable land, Africa remains a net importer of fertilizer products, prompting investments to improve food security and boost agricultural productivity amid rapid population growth.
- Dangote Group intends to increase Nigeria's urea capacity from 3 million MTPA to 9 MTPA while adding a new 3 MTPA plant in Ethiopia. "This investment marks another important milestone," Aliko Dangote, President and Chief Executive of Dangote Industries Limited, said.
- Following full repayment of a $300mn senior loan supporting development of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery, the latest commitment demonstrates AFC's model of redeploying capital once strategic assets become operational and cash-generative.
- Dangote Petroleum Refinery increased crude processing capacity to 700,000 barrels per day this month, exceeding its nameplate capacity, while the company plans to list shares in Q3 2026 at a $40bn–$50bn valuation, proposing a 5%–10% stake sale.
