The refinery being built by Aliko Dangote is the single factor most likely to prevent the naira from falling ever lower, Bhatia says in London. Dangote said in April that he expects refinery commissioning before the end of Muhammadu Buhari’s term as president in 2023.
Once the refinery is fully ramped up, it should make a big difference to the currency, Bhatia says.
