Oga stop being ignorant...This deal has already been signed by GEJ administration since 2013...This current administration is known to take accolade for the good work GEJ administration did but will come to the media to tarnish him for the bad ones..

Read here and get enlightened; http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/09/dangote-signs-9bn-deal-to-build-oil-refinery-petrochemical-complex/

Where has the government taken accolade for this?

I have a feeling the refinery will actually be ready by 2019.

The refinery was earlier planned to be sited at Olokola free trade zone in Ondo state, but the LASG did a lot to woo Dangote to bring the refinery to the Lekki free trade zone

this is one Nigerian that think straight, well done sir

we go collect our oil if all this yeye nairalander make me vess now

wellmax:

Who else is hearing this for the first time.

it is supposed to be lekki free trade zzone unless the name has being changed

Don't you know where Lekki is or are you just rushing to comment.... and you expect him to give you refined fuel free of charge when he has to buy crude oil with his own money?

Feranchek:
Feranchek:
I'm yet to find that non-cleric Nigerian, that gives free of charge. BTW, last I checked, his refinery isn't being built in Nigeria. So at the end of the day, na still importation we go dey do

God answer my prayer too, no b say we sef no get ideas but d capital nah d koko....

Ride on Dangote m on my way to d top too...

So good

After all said and done,a private owned refinery is a nice way to go for the FG. But I still have my reservations due to the fact that being a private business, the refinery will be looking to make profit,so where does that leave the masses. We will still buy fuel at high rate. And Dangote we all know being a capitalist that he is will not bring the price down,instead he'll be looking to monopolize the oil sector like he did to the cement sector,then we'll practically start feeding out of his hands.And who's that dude talking about him being on the Top 10 in Forbes list,he's going to be number 1 in the world in the next 10 years or so!

Some people had a similar reservation with regards to allowing private participation in the telecoms sector. They argued that telecoms services will be out of the reach of the common man (as if the rich man talkless of common man had phones) if government refuse to come to the aid of Nitel.
Today Nitel is dead, and virtually every body have phones.

It is the same thing I see happening to NNPC refinery arm, it won't be able to compete and government would have no more need nor the desire to keep it from going under when the nation is no longer reliant on it for products .

The kind of stories I want to hear about Africa and Africans. There is hope.

Buhari is working, and the idiots are shouting Biafra. Mind u Nwobodo is now in the 'islamic party' .

happy

AngryNigerian:
You see why it is said that the only reason why we cant make it is the limitations/wedges we create 4 ourselves! This is one man that thinks out of the box! This is how wealthy people think: rich men wnt think like this!!!


Carry on DAD!

Sir are u made already?

just asking

coos i need some points

There is need of a dangote in every sphere of the economy. And Africa will change for sure

Iko5000:
where is the crude oil coming from ,ah yes from the Niger Delta

He won't be getting the crude for free, dumbo. Presently, foreigners buy and refine in their countries then sell to us.
He will buy, refine in Nigeria then SELL to Nigerians, keeping the entire economic cycle within!

Ijaya123:


Where has the government taken accolade for this?

Which govt were you praising after reading this thread?

did you forget he is going to be buying it... if there is no crude oil in niger delta, he can decide to buy it from Angola, Venezuela, Iran, Iraq or Saudi Arabia.

You took the words straight out of my mouth...Bill Gates n Slim's time is nearly up...Dangote's storm is just around the corner ready to swim them off that top spot

Dangote's wealth is about to explode. This man is visionary. There are other quite wealthy Nigerian's, but they would rather invest else where but Nigeria.

Write in Ibo, it would make sense.

Herald47:
That's good,as we all can see nobody is initiating any policy that will crumble his refinery,now that ifeanyi uba is making moves to build his own refinery and jim ovia building his petrochemical plant in akwa ibom and shell building their massive gas plant in imo state,and anambra state government making move to build a large gas plant and new refinery,we don't want him to tell his brother(buhari)to initiate any policy that will crumble these ones i mentioned earlier,we all know the inconveniences they are creating for ibeto cement because they are afraid of competition.

Chaee. which day u pple go find peace within una sef? if una find it difficult to find peace within una sef, it wil b difficult for una to move forward o

monopoly of trade.... make dis man no turns us 2slave at d end

Monopoly of idiocy

wellmax:

Who else is hearing this for the first time.

I thought same when I was reading it. Was he granted a free trade zone or Lekki FTZ the reporter meant

[size=18pt]If one man can give us that, then, something is wrong with the federal government.[/size]

No they won't, but my countrymen will slam Dangote for monopoly and see nothing wrong when foreigners take the initiative and take advantage of opportunities

carinmom:
This is really patriotic. Other business moguls in Naija should try to emulate what Dangote is doing.
