Nigeria, March 12 -- The largest oil refinery in Africa, the Dangote Refinery, is allegedly considering importing more crude oil as talks with the Nigerian government over the Naira-for-Crude deal continue.

The Nigerian government is currently negotiating a Naira-for-Crude contract in an effort to strengthen the local currency and lessen its reliance on foreign currencies for oil transactions.

The largest oil refinery in Africa, the $19 billion Dangote Refinery, has been a key component of Nigeria's attempts to become petroleum self-sufficient.

The refinery has greatly decreased the country's dependency on imported fuel since it began operations.
