Pastor Adeboye: We Prayed to God, and He Made It Possible for Dangote to Receive Crude Oil Allocation

Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has shared a compelling account of how prayers led to the resolution of challenges faced by business magnate Aliko Dangote in accessing crude oil for his refinery.

During a sermon, Pastor Adeboye revealed that Dangote initially faced resistance when seeking crude oil for his refinery. “When they refused to give Aliko Dangote crude oil, some of us prayed, and crude oil was given to him,” the cleric stated. However, he noted that the situation remained complex, as the suppliers also imposed conditions on the pricing of the crude oil.

Pastor Adeboye recounted reading a newspaper report about certain individuals threatening to take legal action to compel Dangote to adhere to terms that would favor continued oil imports. He described this as part of the opposition faced by those striving for self-sufficiency in the oil industry.

He further emphasized the divine nature of Dangote’s vision to build a refinery, saying, “God raised someone who said he would build a refinery on his own, and he did. If all governments fail, their own will succeed.” However, he lamented that despite this achievement, Dangote initially had to import crude oil from the United States due to challenges in securing local supplies.

Pastor Adeboye expressed gratitude for the eventual breakthrough, attributing it to divine intervention following prayers and supplications. He encouraged those in doubt to verify the account, referring them to reports published in the midweek newspapers.

The Dangote Refinery, one of the largest of its kind in Africa, represents a significant step toward reducing Nigeria’s dependency on imported petroleum products. Pastor Adeboye’s remarks highlight the interplay between faith, business, and national development in addressing critical challenges.
