DMT Collateral appointed collateral manager for Dangote Refinery

In a moment that celebrates the strength of African expertise and trust, DMT Collateral Management Company Limited has been appointed as Collateral Manager for the Dangote Refinery in Lagos, Nigeria.

The appointment, made by four major international lending powerhouses: Afreximbank, Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), Standard Bank South Africa, and Access Bank Plc Nigeria — marks a new milestone for Africa’s energy and financial sectors.

Founded in Ghana in 2009, DMT Collateral has evolved into a Pan-African powerhouse, setting the benchmark for integrity, transparency, and reliability in commodity and structured trade finance.

Its appointment to oversee collateral operations for the Dangote Refinery, Africa’s largest industrial project, affirms the company’s technical mastery and its growing reputation as a trusted partner for high-value, complex transactions across the continent.

This latest engagement joins a long list of impressive achievements. In 2019, DMT Collateral was contracted by Vitol and the Tema Oil Refinery to manage the processing of 8 million barrels of crude oil into refined products.

In 2022, the Bank of Ghana once again recognized DMT’s credibility by appointing the company to verify and monitor oil imports under the Government’s Gold for Oil Programme, a national initiative designed to stabilize fuel supply and preserve foreign reserves.

An ISO-certified and fully Ghanaian-owned company, DMT continues to demonstrate that African institutions can meet and exceed global standards in trade finance and energy logistics. From its base in Accra to its operational offices in Johannesburg, DMT Collateral stands as a symbol of what Africa can achieve when innovation, accountability, and expertise come together.

As Mr. Paul Sannie Minlah, Managing Director of DMT, proudly states: “DMT is becoming a truly Pan-African company — one that reflects Africa’s growing capability in delivering world-class collateral management solutions.”

With this prestigious appointment, DMT Collateral is not just managing collateral — it is managing Africa’s future.

The company’s involvement in the Dangote Refinery project highlights its role in safeguarding investments, boosting industrial efficiency, and strengthening confidence in Africa’s ability to deliver world-class financial oversight.

From Ghana’s financial capital to Nigeria’s industrial heartland, DMT’s story is one of homegrown excellence transforming the continent’s economic narrative. It stands tall as Africa’s trusted name in collateral management, a symbol of progress, professionalism, and pride.
