The UK imported roughly £1.02bn worth of refined petroleum products from Nigeria in the 12 months to June 2026, according to multiple reports. The coverage links the increase to higher output at the Dangote Refinery as Nigeria expands its ability to supply processed fuel to international markets.
Legit.ng adds that refined petroleum exports to the UK surpass Nigeria’s crude oil exports, and it cites a resulting surplus of about £245m. The Punch similarly frames the story around the UK’s purchases and describes it as a shift enabled by the refinery’s expansion.
Ghana MMA, citing a UK government trade and investment factsheet, focuses on the import figure and the timeframe, emphasizing that increased refinery capacity supports exports to international markets. Together, the articles describe the same underlying trade development but vary in whether they foreground the refinery’s role, the export comparison, or the source document.
