I saw some of the equipment being moved to site on monday. Nigeria will be great again. God bless Dangote and bless Nigeria more.

14.All the civil engineering is done by Nigerian companies.
11.When this project comes online, Nigeria will save a minimum of $10 billion a year on imports.
These are the things that make me genuinely happy with the project

naijainfogalery:
When this project is completed , Dangote will become the top 7 richest man in the world.
Even OPEC will bow at the mention of Nigeria
The almighty US will shiver when we tell them we are not interested in trading with them.
Nigeria will become a natural gas hub ,
Nigeria will conveniently serve the likes of west Africa and East Africa. I forsee the East west gas pipeline
The cost of living in Ibeju Lekki will skyrocket , if you are a wise investor you know where to be, don't bother building a residential , just target commercial building , just incase you don't know, refineries don't sleep. Meaning there will be over 10,000 trailers at every point in time waiting to load. So here is opportunity for hotels, eateries , fastfoods, pepper soup joints , clubs etc after all its oil money we are talking about.
If you have small money to invest in the future , you already know where to go

I am impressed!

One Governor could have had this project sited in his State but out of useless but pure undiluted greed, asking to reap too much where he did not sow, he let it slip away. I imagine what development and growth this will bring to an already growing Lagos.

As much as I hate Dangote for some of his wicked underground business antics, I really appreciate the innovation of this. I have heard about what to expect from this project before now. I patiently await the commencement of operations and the seldom positive effects of Nigerians and Nigeria. Once we stop importing petroleum products, our currency will further strengthen.

A candid warning to prospecting militants.... this is not owned by Government and so should not be a target for incessant vandalization, not even once. Let us all hope for the best and when the rewards start to come, may we all be here to witness it all.

Militants, where? Lagos? Pls...we are not destructive here.

I pray for another wonderful, thoughtful, masterclass project that will equally make enormous difference in the lives of our Youths and the Nations as a whole in another region of this country. A balanced trade/economic focus in the country is not bad in any way.

Churches should also learn to invest in what will benefit d masses..

delawal:

I have always thought in this direction. d congregation contribute huge sums to build big churches dt will harbour unemployed and hungry faithfuls. why can't churches venture into big manufacturing companies and industries wit d huge sums they have and beta d life's of their members since d govt has failed, mind u d govt can't employ everyone.

1. Over $4 billion worth of equipment currently sits on the site.

2.The project is slated to cost $14 billion (N2.8 trillion) of which Dangote is contributing $7 billion in equity.

3.The project site is larger than Victoria Island. It is located on 2135 hectares of land in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos near the Lekki Free Zone

4.It is the largest industrial complex in Africa
Work goes on, on the site, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

5.World Record 2.72 million accident free hours recorded on site, without a single lost time to injuries

6.It is the largest single train grass roots refinery in the world with a processing capacity of 650,000 BPSD

7.Dangote Group brought in the world’s #1, #2, and #5 sand dredgers to sand fill the site. 60% of the land being swampy. So far these dredgers have reclaimed 13 million m³ out of 30 million m³

8.During construction, the project will employ over 25,000 Nigerians

9.Dangote is investing over $7 billion (N1.4 trillion) in the project

10.It is the largest single train refinery project on the planet

11.When this project comes online, Nigeria will save a minimum of $10 billion a year on imports

12.The Ammonia component of the plant will produce 2.8 million tonnes of Urea

13. Dangote is producing its own electricity to power the plant and by so doing is saving 75% costs. Dangote produces electricity at a rate that is significantly cheaper than the Federal Government. Dangote’s cost is $400,000/MW, while Federal Government is $2,000,000/MW

14.All the civil engineering is done by Nigerian companies

15.The plant has an export value of $6 billion per annum, meaning Dangote’s efforts will increase the amount of foreign exchange in Nigeria’s foreign reserves by at least 40% of current value on a yearly basis

16.Dangote said when this project comes on line, his friend Femi Otedola will save at least N26 per litre on millions of litres of diesel and petrol which his companies import annually. This savings will be passed on to the consumers and it will take a lot of pressure off the banks

17.Billions of Naira were paid to acquire the land and to settle the existing communities. More money was also allocated and spent to relocate the existing communities

18.This project will restore the dignity of Nigeria, a crude producing country that has for years gone abroad to meet its demand for refined products

19.Refined products to be produced at the plant include but is not limited to propane, petrol, Jet Fuel, Diesel, Kerosene, Carbon Black, Polypropylene, Polyethylene

20.The United States Trade and Development Agency is supporting this project with $997 million

Very massive project to stand in the Ibeju-Lekki axis come 2019.

Codes151:
South south should have a refinery there! South south govts are just useless! Also there should be a stop-control station to keep track and records as well as monitor proceeds from the south south! Just saying that adding more internal revenue to lag and depriving others is wrong!
Northern oil can be processed there in dangote refinery!

Cuz the truth is simple., 25k Nigerians would be northerners! This will bring more problems!

Nigeria should own this not a single man bt then our politicians for too greedy n self centred to think bout the future!


More internal revenue added to Lagos state! More tax! More development at the expense of other states


This is so wrong
