Aliko Dangote, president of Dangote Group, has assured Nigerians that when his refinery is ready, the country would no longer need to import petroleum products. The refinery would lower the prices of petroleum products in Nigeria and save some costs on importation when completed.

The refinery will have the capacity to refine 650,000 barrels of crude oil per day while the petrochemical plant will produce 780 KTPA Polypropylene, 500 KTPA of Polyethylene while the fertilizer project will produce 3.0 million metric tonnes per annum of Urea.

The 650,000-barrels-per-day refinery will come on stream by September 2019. Work has been ongoing on the proposed site at Ibeju Lekki area which is very close to the Eko Atlantic site.

These are pictures and drone video from the site. Some of the pictures are from Google Satellite Images and some from the site inspection.

Will it make fuel cheaper and more available when it's completed?

According to Dangote, Yes, at a very reduced price! But I fear monopoly in this sector... Imagine one man controlling the price...

This is not the refinery section sir. This is the fertilizer section.
Let's be guided.
Thanks.

Is it really about monopoly? I don't think so. It's more about having a substitute & cheaper alternative to importing fuel. Its about conserving forex used for petrol importation. And it's about opening up opportunities in allied industries! Let's focus on the +ves

[quote author=handsomeyinka post=66465887] Is N a petroleum product?[Cheer] Cheer up bro

I love this guy called Dangote. His level of investment is something else.

What Nigeria government put together could not dare because of their corrupt nature, one man is doing exploit in it.

At least let the importation of fuel stop, i think that will give value to naira a bit and will end the subsidy.

expecting to get pms and others cheaper when this refinery becomes fully functional is
like expecting $1=N1- thats not going to happy. Infact knowing Dangote to be the king of monopoly in this country, expect to
start paying double the price.
You dont need a sooth sayer to know that - just look @dangote cement and others

U know the answer already. Is Dangote cement cheaper?

I like him but he has been nicknamed Dankuri in my place because of the tendency of his trucks to kuriela multitude

And the thieves we have been voting for since are yet to construct half functional refinery with all the taxpayers money under their watch.

God bless Aliko Dangote, God bless Bill Gates and Joseph Etangewak.

Good, the positive impact of a reduced fuel prices and FX savings will be massive on the economy and whosoever wins the 2019 Presidential election will take the glory.
