Nigeria is emerging as an important alternative supplier of jet fuel to Europe, as tensions between the United States (US) and Iran disrupt traditional supply routes from the Middle East. A recent shipment from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery to the United Kingdom highlights a growing shift towards West African sources.

European jet fuel prices have surged sharply in recent weeks, with costs nearly doubling, raising concerns over potential shortages. The pressure on supply has forced countries across the region to look beyond their usual partners.

US President Donald Trump has urged European nations facing shortages to purchase fuel from the US, adding another layer to an already strained market.
