Dangote refinery appoints ex-Shell executive David Bird as CEO
As part of major reorganisation taking place at Dangote Group in the recent time, the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals has appointed David Bird as the chief executive officer (CEO) of its petroleum and petrochemicals business.
The appointment took effect from July 2025, according to S&P Global, which first reported the development on Friday.
The move comes at a time when the refinery is striving to surmount production challenges and advance its expansion plans, which include a nationwide distribution of fuel in Nigeria — a scheme already facing significant pushback.
