Dangote's Monopoly Concerns Intensify with New Corporate Connections

This expansion, particularly given prior concerns about a potential monopoly, indicates a consolidating power structure within Nigeria's refining sector, potentially involving new, yet unnamed, corporate actors aligning with the Dangote Group, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, and the Gas Regulatory Authority.
