The sum is 33-percent less than in 2021.
Dangote Sugar Refinery has a refining capacity of 1.44 million metric tonnes.

Dangote derives nearly half of his $20-billion fortune from his 86-percent stake in Dangote Cement.
Dangote’s net worth has risen by more than $1.88 billion this year.
Dangote is the founder of Dangote Industries Limited, a Nigerian conglomerate with diverse interests.
The refinery project is still on track to be completed by 2023.
Dangote derives the majority of his net worth from his 86-percent stake in Dangote Cement.
His 86-percent stake in Dangote Cement is valued at $10.3 billion.
This is significantly greater than the $1.3-billion increase in his net worth in 2021.
