The much touted construction of the Dangote Refinery is ongoing and the PR machine has been unleashed in the quest to create awareness for the project and to a larger extent, attract government incentives. It’s nothing new, if you follow Aliko Dangote very well. The Billionaire investor loves to ride on government incentives to push his business empire. After all, it’s a ‘win win’ situation or so he thinks.

His Chief Operating Officer Kunle Alake was recently quoted by several media outlets discussing the benefits of setting up the refinery. As usual and in typical PR style, he had a long list of what Nigeria stands to gain. We counted 12 of them.

1. The refinery and fertiliser projects will create job opportunities for the communities and Nigerians when it becomes operational. It will create over 300,000 direct and indirect jobs by the first quarter of 2019
2. The refinery will have a refining capacity of about 650,000 barrels of crude a day,’’
3. It will force down the price of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) in the country and save money spent on importation.
