Dangote oil refinery is due to take in up to 400,000 barrels a day of Nigerian crude over the coming two months as Africa’s largest plant transforms the region’s import and export markets.

The giant refinery outside Lagos is scheduled to take delivery of about 24 million barrels of Nigerian supply in October and November, as it increasingly turns to local feedstock, according to a list of cargo allocations seen by Bloomberg News.
