中国石化新闻网讯 据WENews.com网站7月24日休斯顿报道，非洲首富阿里科·丹格特（Aliko Dangote）日前向路透社记者表示，他已为尼日利亚炼油厂项目安排了超过45亿美元的债务融资，这个新建炼油厂计划在2020年初投产。

为了帮助减少尼日利亚对进口石油依赖，靠水泥发家的丹格特目前正在建造这个世界上最大的具有日加工65万桶原油能力的单一炼油厂。

尽管尼日利亚是一个原油出口国，但由于国内炼油产能不足，尼日利亚大部分石油产品只能依赖进口。

丹格特表示，贷款机构将承诺提供大约31.5亿美元资金，而世界银行麾下的私人部门机构将提供1.5亿美元资金。他补充称，自己的60%现金流可以用于投资这个项目。

丹格特集团表示，渣打银行时下正在为这个项目安排资金。

Africa's Richest Man Arranges $4.5 Bln of Financing for Oil Refinery

Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, has arranged more than $4.5 billion in debt financing for his Nigerian oil refinery project and aims to start production in early 2020, he told Reuters.

Dangote, who built his fortune in cement, is building the world's largest single oil refinery with capacity of 650,000 barrels per day (bpd) to help to reduce Nigeria's dependence on imported petroleum.

Despite being a crude oil exporter, Nigeria imports the bulk of its petroleum because of a lack of domestic refining capacity.

Lenders would commit about $3.15 billion, with the World Bank's private sector arm providing $150 million, Dangote said, adding that he was investing more than 60 percent from his own cash flow.

Dangote Group has said that Standard Chartered Bank was arranging funds for the project.
