President of Dangote Group and Africa’s richest man, is sending about 800 Nigerians to India, to learn the operations of a petrochemical refinery.

A source in the multi-billion naira company, Dangote Group, has exclusively confirmed to TheCable on Friday that billionaire business mogul and Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, is sending about 800 Nigerians to India, to learn the operations of a petrochemical refinery, adding that the first batch to be trained will leave for India on Sunday, March 20, 2016.

It was learnt that the 800 Nigerians will travel to the Asian country over the next 24 months in a batch of fifties, to learn from the nation with the largest refinery in the world.

India is home to the world’s largest refinery, Jamnagar Refinery Reliance Industries, Jamnagar, which refines as much as 1.2 million barrels per day.

“About 800 will be trained in batches within 24 months. The first batch of 50 is leaving for India on Sunday,” the source said.

Dangote is looking to creating employment within the Nigerian economy, rather than importing expatriates to run the first private refinery in Nigeria.

The refinery, projected to worth $9 billion, is being built to have a refining capacity of about 500,000 to 650,000 barrels per day.

“After receiving a private licence to build a refinery, Dangote has commenced the building of a 650,000 barrel per day (BPD) petroleum refinery, which will be the single largest in the world.

“The refinery would have a larger capacity than all of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) refineries put together,” the conglomerate said in a statement more than a year ago.

Dangote, who hosted Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), at the site of the refinery in January, assured Nigerians that the refinery would be ready to meet the nation’s need by 2018.

& so They are not "Nigerians"?

Even if they are Masai or Zulu, is it any business of yours , Tribalistic crap is all that you lots spew all day,everyday!!






Can't wait for him to finish his refinery.. Then Oil importation will become a profitless business venture!

So many "hard working" business people who have refused to "work" towards owning nothing but tank farms will cry blood!

Quite impressive.

Aliko Dangote is clearly one of the most patriotic Nigerian businessmen committed to reviving our national economy while creating wealth for himself. This capacity development means the beneficiaries upon their return, can effectively train our indigenous technicians to become trainers themselves and so the technology transfer from India would be accomplished.

If we had only 5 more Dangote's in this country, Nigeria would definitely be a better place. Kudos sir.

Nice one

That refinery wud be complete but if Niger deltans are not giving at least 25percent slot from that 800 people then that ur refinery u better start laying ur pipes to lake chad since ur people say there's oil there.

Your stomach capacity must be 50,000 litres. Phew! You spew more hate than a brewery brews beer.

Everybody in the south knows how tribalistic northerners are, and how there brothers and there allies support them.
From Buhari to El rufai to Dangote.

Everybody you say? You see, brother, the problem is, you've already formed an opinion of them and there's little one can do to change that fact. You seem ignorant to with.

Ask your people who've lived with them, if they'll give an unbiased assessment of them, they'd tell you more than this post will allow me inform you.

It pays venturing out of your comfort zone sometimes.

MyGeneration:

Let us keep quiet so that you northerners wud keep cheating us

Instead of embarrassing yourself on this thread, why not encourage your indigenous businessmen to start a similar scheme to create jobs and help improve the Nigerian economy? It is more dignifying than playing victim all the time.

Emefiele is Ibo /ND/Southerner, he not only cheated you & your ilk, he also had another Ibo rub it in your faces that you are not the kind of "specialists" that CBN "targets" recruitment at... LWKMD

Not a squeak from you tribal bigots, but if he had been another tribe, you lots would have been convulsing & cursing, quaking with hatred & bile, but you can't cos na "our own/pikin"...

No one is going to advise that you lots to retrieve your brain back from the dungeon of religious/ tribal bigotry, na una go tire!!

once again, it is Dangote's business to employ as he deems fit, It is a private concern, that he is as rich as the country doesn't make his ventures Public service. shift abeg!!






Ksstroud,

Amen, thanks & God bless you too.

A very good bizman i see here!

Smartt guy

Ok na.

With some comments I'm reading here, I now believe that the spirit of common sense has left some people. Children of hate, I duff my hat.

Heavenly Father, help me so that I can help others too. Well done Dangote. God bless.

No

Good move Dangote!
By putting his trust in Nigerians.
