Top 21 Facts About Dangote’s Most Ambitious Project Yet


In the year 2013, the wealthiest black man on the planet, a Nigerian teeming with foresight, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, announced plans to build a refinery.

Recently the Central Bank of Nigeria’s governor was taken on a tour of the project by Dangote. Several media houses were in attendance.

Here is some of what we learned:

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

The project is slated to cost $14 billion (N2.8 trillion) of which Dangote is contributing $7 billion in equity.
The project site is larger than Victoria Island. It is located on 2135 hectares of land in Epe, Lagos near the Lekki Free Zone
It is the largest industrial complex in Africa
Work goes on, on the site, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
World Record 2.72 million accident free hours recorded on site, without a single lost time to injuries
It is the largest single train grass roots refinery in the world with a processing capacity of 650,000 BPSD

Dangote Refinery Site

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 m

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

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

It is the largest single train refinery project on the planet

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

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

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

All the civil engineering is done by Nigerian companies

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

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

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

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

This police are very funny. She was beaten to death not beheaded, then wat is the difference?

Laughing hard in Ondo dielect!
Another fanatic Yoruba muslim carrying water for Fulani muslims. You have performed your religious best to justify the murder of Christian Igbo woman in Kano.
I know you regret not physically partaking in the killing orgy, that's why you have to post this misunderstood verses.
Thank God, you are not carrying knife with blood on your hands like your people in London just to show support for islam.

ruggedchap:
Do you hear of Christians going on a wild, barbaric, animalistic, raging and uncontrollable murderous rage when someone makes blasphemous statements against either Christ or God ?? Is this not the context in which we are evaluating this silly post ?

Instead of cleansing your minds from the great wickedness and evil therein you point fingers at events that happened in the 1st century BC.

Don't let religion make you dumb !

SuperS1Panther:
@ OP,

It is very disheartening and shameful for you to look up to Bible to defend the barbaric and satanic acts of your Muslims in the north.

Are we not first human before religion? You have the power to kill someone you cannot create. You can only kill the body but not th soul.

I hope and pray the blood of that old woman will not keep crying for vengeance against every person and the lineage of the people that took part in that killing.

To hell with a God that cannot fight for Himself, if he is looking up to me a mortal to defend him the immortal. If Mohammed is that powerless and helpless, I repeat to hell with him.

Stand out what is right and justice and NOT RELIGION

ruggedchap:
Hmm, it's called logic , lol.

Think !

jamace:
OP, have you seen/witnessed christians kill anybody because of blasphemy?

I know you have not seen. So, why try to justify barbaric act by a religion?

chikel2000:
Fayose is still far better than other governors. Ist he said the truth, Ekiti is broke n u knw buhari won't fund him either, telling d truth of a situation is d most noble thing to do. 2ndly he joined d strike, y? Just to make fun of them?, no. H felt dia pain n wish to identify with them. How many governors have stepped that low to identity with its people. Yes things r bad now but trust me fayose's attitude demonstrated good will

Tinubutoto:

There is a big difference between blaspheming the supreme God and blaspheming a MERE MAN like Muhammad.

Jesusloveyou:

IdisuleOurOwn:
Now, this is what I fail to understand. Where did the so called law of Moses comes from?
Was it not God-inspired? Why then reject it as been old?

Not christain

SWG26:
Christians follow Jesus not Moses.

ajebuter:
Let me get this right, you actually in support of the barbarity of beheading a woman in Kano for blasphemy, Aresa?

Or there is something I'm missing here in view of your quotation from the Bible?

Leviticus 24:10-23English Standard Version (ESV)

Punishment for Blasphemy
10 Now an Israelite woman's son, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the people of Israel. And the Israelite woman's son and a man of Israel fought in the camp, 11 and the Israelite woman's son blasphemed the Name, and cursed. Then they brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. 12 And they put him in custody, till the will of the Lord should be clear to them.

13 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 14 “Bring out of the camp the one who cursed, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him. 15 And speak to the people of Israel, saying, Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin. 16 Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him. The sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.

Take a trip out of lagos and enjoy cool life the only reason some people are in Lagos is just because of the thriving business setting.... Nobody loves Lagos just for the name Lagos..
Lastly people like U make Nigeria unable to grow coz u channel everything from the centre towards ethnicity.
