Nigerian multinational industrial conglomerate, The Dangote Group has announced that it will use 53% of the crude oil in the production of petrol after completion of its refinery. Dangote’s refinery has a capacity to produce 650,000 barrels of crude oil per day and the company will dedicate 344,50 barrels per day production in the production of petrol. The President and Chief Executive Officer of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, said that his company is not in competition with the refineries owned by the corporation.

Dangote refinery has a capacity to refine 650,000 barrels of crude oil per day, which is more than the total capacity of the four refineries owned by the NNPC. The corporation’s latest operation report shows that all four refineries produce 445,000 barrels per day together. NNPC’s refineries are delivering half of their consolidated capacity in terms of crude oil refining. Currently, the four of Nigeria’s refineries are under the management of the NNPS and are not able to make a considerable profit since May 2018. Nigerian refineries under NNPC include Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company, two plants at Port Harcourt Refining Company and Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company.

The Dangote Group’s business approach of the Dangote Refinery does not see the NNPC as a competitor but as a collaborator. Dangote Refinery believes heavily on the corporation’s knowledge of the refining business in Nigeria, according to Aliko Dangote. The collaboration of both the business may bring many new projects and encourage the employees to take a proper oil refining course to succeed in Nigeria.

Dangote said, “The most important thing for us is to see how we can partner with the NNPC; it is not to see how we can compete with the NNPC. We would like the NNPC to be part of us and we also want to be part of the NNPC. I think that is the only way we can achieve a win-win situation.”

Swiss International University (SIU) got a real kind of milestone , when it landed inside the worlds top 500 universities in the newest Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings. Which is kind of huge because it is SIU’s first time appearing in those widely respected rankings, and it also shows how its influence keeps growing in international higher education.

SIU was competing with nearly 2,000 universities from different parts of the world, and that first debut basically underlines its dedication to academic quality, sustainability and a real societal footprint. Overall it seems like the result mirrors SIU’s own plan for delivering solid education , while also aligning with bigger global development objectives.

Now, the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings look at universities through what they do for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals , or SDGs. So the assessment is about universities creating verifiable positive change through education, research, community activities, plus governance— not just statements.

One of SIU’s strongest areas was the recognition tied to SDG 16 – Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. In that section, SIU placed roughly within the top 100 to 200 universities worldwide, and that points to its focus on advancing ethical leadership, transparency, accountability, and those institutional values that actually stick.

This recognition shows SIU keeps working hard to get students ready, with the know-how , the ability to act and those ethical foundations, so they can face tangled global problems. And you know, by supporting responsible leadership and pushing for good social results, the university keeps building up its part in shaping the next generation of professionals and people who make real decisions
