One of the sad thing about the internet is ignorant people like you having a say.

Even countries smaller than Nigeria have more than 5 good refineries.

ask dangote why he went to Lagos or Kenya in the first place...he didnt see kwara - i am sure he could have gotten land for free in kwara...

WHY ILORIN IS COMPETITIVE FOR A SECOND DANGOTE REFINERY IN NIGERIA - Rukayat Shittu

Following my invitation to Alhaji Aliko Dangote to consider Ilorin for a future refinery, many have asked a legitimate question.

Can an inland city like Ilorin compete with Lagos when it comes to crude supply, logistics and access to international markets?

My answer is simple, yes, potentially, but not by trying to make Ilorin another Lagos, but by serving a purpose Lagos may struggle with.

Ilorin's advantage is precisely that it can serve a different purpose.

Lagos has the coastline, deep water access and proximity to international shipping. It is therefore naturally positioned to remain a major refining and export hub for Europe, Asia, the Americas and the wider Atlantic market.

Ilorin can complement that position by becoming an inland energy and refining hub focused on Nigeria and the African continental market.

An Ilorin refinery does not need a coastline to receive crude.

It can be supplied through a combination of dedicated crude pipelines from producing regions; expanded national petroleum infrastructure; strategic crude storage;
pipeline connections to multiple supply corridors and, where commercially viable, rail as a supplementary logistics option.

Nigeria produces crude in the Niger Delta, while emerging inland production prospects provide opportunities for future diversification of feedstock sources.

A refinery should be located not only close to crude, but also close to its customers.

And this is where Ilorin becomes a sound pitch.

Ilorin sits at a strategic junction between the South and the North.

A refinery here could potentially serve Nort Central Nigeria, the North, and neighbouring African markets, while retaining access to the South West.

Instead of transporting huge volumes of refined products from the coast deep into the interior, Nigeria could bring refining capacity closer to the consumers.

That means potential savings in transportation,storage, road congestion, product evacuation, distribution time and logistics risk.

The bigger opportunity is an Ilorin Energy and Industrial Corridor.

A major refinery could anchor petrochemicals, gas processing, fertiliser, power generation, industrial manufacturing
storage, engineering services, logistics, aviation fuel, lubricants and other energy intensive industries.

Ilorin could become an inland energy gateway connecting Nigeria's major markets with the wider African market.

Lagos can remain Nigeria's major coastal refining and global export hub.
Ilorin can develop as an inland refining, distribution and African market hub.

One faces the ocean.
The other faces the continent.
That is not duplication.
That is diversification.

And diversification is how serious economies reduce systemic risk and logistics costs.

My invitation was addressed to Alhaji Aliko Dangote because he has demonstrated what Nigerian private capital can achieve at world scale.

But the proposition is much bigger than one investor.

Other Nigerian industrialists, indigenous petroleum companies, international investors, infrastructure funds and Private consortia can step in.

Kwara is pen to all serious investors willing to build productive energy infrastructure.

Let them come. Let the engineers study it. Let the economists model it. Let the investors test the numbers.
If the numbers work, Ilorin is ready.

Kwara has the land.
Kwara has the location.
Kwara has access to major markets.
Kwara has an emerging infrastructure ecosystem.
And, most importantly, Kwara has the ambition to turn its strategic geography into industrial wealth.

So my invitation remains.

Alhaji Dangote, come and look at Ilorin.
Not because Ilorin has no challenges.
But because every great industrial project begins by solving challenges that are worth solving.

Ilorin may not be Nigeria's next Lekki.
It could become something different, Nigeria's inland energy gateway to Africa.

Hon. Rukayat Shittu

investors will look at the level of security before bringing their money. the honorable can help solve that first.

FG is not able to secure pipelines and power infrastructure from islamic jihadists but you want a private investor to build pipeline to a location less than 5 hours drive from Lagos..

I have said it and will continue to say it.
The United Nations headquarters should be relocated to a neutral country.
It has lost its relevance being in America.
America does not respect the rule of international laws.
It supports genocide.
It supports terrorism.
It supports warmongering.
The world should not fold its arms and watch United Nations fall to ruin, because it can no longer meet its obligations to member nations.
Especially now that we have an awkward bull in the White House.

Make dem move a come your village for zamfara bah...

You can say no to terrorists without killing innocent children.
Innocent people are starving and losing years they cannot recover.
You cant cut short the lives of innocent people because you want to attack some terrorists.
If a terrorist take cover around you and your childrens location someday, should your life and that of your children be disrupted because of what you know nothing about

Say no to terrorism don't allow them take cover near you..

Omoawoke:
Kuku buy the whole Nigeria

Buy all of us, then when done buy planet earth and go buy Pluto

These capitalist are just evil and unnecessarily greedy about the world. It’s one of the weakness of humanity… acquire, possess and acquire till they depart this earth with not a single pin of what they spent their whole life acquiring

Imagine a world without people having Unquenchable thirst and hunger to posses everything…
Leave the world to this rich people and even poor people that have that same desire but no means to conquer everything, these people will ruin the world and destroy the basic essence of life and its meaning

Life is meant to be free, explored and enjoyed… not living on earth like we owe life debt… and that can happen when people take enough they need and think of humanity, and the pants and animals on Mother Earth…

But these ones, they are the ones who come to destroy, possess and destroy and make life harder just to enjoy few decades of power and wealth and depart

Las las, Aye o le, Aye lo maye le (The world isn’t suppose to be difficult, na humans make am hard for each other )

Las las, dangote, Elon musk and all of them, them go comot this earth without a single pin…

You nko

You go explain taya...

Don't tell me you don't like to afford anything you wish while alive..

Westman001:
He's a republican. A party activist and influencer at that. He always share MAGA hats in events. And he was killed by a Democrats.

If it was the other way around, the country would have come to a meltdown. Protest and riots everywhere with placards on how terrible the republican are and how dangerous they are for the country.

This just tell you who the troublemakers are in the American politics.

You get meomery so. The boy in that comment refers to the boy that killed Kirk. And what meltdown are you talking about...

Hole it...

More characters to make it to safety...

Wow

Terrible design waste of space and concrete...

Vanity upon vanity all is.....

Desperate synagogue of satan fighting existential PR war worldwide won't allow the slightest change of narrative from sponsored foot soldiers -even Trump dare not !!!

No one deserve such gruesome death. God help the wife and kids he left behind.

Wife and kids would do better in life than most people in a country like Nigeria. It's a working system friend.

DeLaRue:
Better to leave him there.

His punishment is far more extensive than the 6 year jail term.

Even when he completes his jail term, he is unlikely to ever be able to find work in Finland, nor receive money from abroad. His bank accounts will be monitored for a long time to come. As a result, he will probably spend most of the rest of his life living on weekly stipends from the Finish government, unless he has a high-earning spouse.

For the sort of crime he was convicted of, most European countries will likely deny him entry into their country. As for the USA, he will never be able to enter the country.

Uncontrolled gra gra only gets you one thing...trouble. Big trouble.

So that guy looks like an employee to you...

He said he takes responsibility. But what is his punishment. Nothing.

Ignorance...the owner of tiktok is not Chinese..tiktok has zero affiliations to china.He has said this countless times before Congress..don't just comment for the sake of commenting.
Tiktok itself would not survive a week in china before they tag it as western decadence.it had use duoyin in china instead

And TikTok is being banned by us supreme court for its affiliations to China and the Chinese communist party..

SmartPolician:
Great idea, but the design is extremely irritating and archaic. These politicians build as if we are in the 13th century

And they are supposed to open the windows for breeze to enter..

Oboy forget that 2x2 cubicle jor. This is a high powered negotiation conference with world political and corporate leaders in attendance. Is that cubicle enough to display ten bundles of Adire? Stop disgracing Nigeria. That's a kind of cubicle befitting Obi and his people not a whole Nigeria.

Other nations that manned their booths came to sell fabrics bah..

Clowns everywhere developing muscle instead of brain...

How did the names get into your databaseif not duly registered.

They are not telling us the whole story,..

Duplication even dey the list. Does it mean there are duplicate names in the database.

Themanleshey:
Because the economic policies are very bright and it’s starting to yield result, everything no be instant food on table, we need to build a strong successful country for ourselves and generation to come and it’s obvious to the wise that it won’t come cheap.

You all want 24 hours power supply right? Tor you guys should brace up for removal of electricity subsidy.

Other countries that enjoy such don’t pay 3k 5k or 10k monthly for power.

Nigeria must be great, ireeee ooo!

Those other countries earn a living wage per hour in most cases. They don't earn peanuts money that can't transport you to work for a month.

I am serious some govt workers borrow money to transport to work on the 15th...

AWONEYAN:
They have finally deceived her to scam.

Using fire extinguisher to attack.

Na terrorism case them go bring back.

Kaa4:
At the very last, someone is responsible for this. He would be shelling out millions of Naira on an overrated woman, who is certain not to give him peace and respect.

Are you sure she is not the one giving the millions to the guy... Probably younger

Ijaya123:
Show me just one country in the whole world that sells unsubsidized fuel at the equivalent of N100 per liter.

Go around and ask those on Band A. They even have supply exceeding 24 hour. You might also want to ask some residence in Abia state.

Are you now growing so much rice in surplus to achieve that figure?

Is there anytime in the history of the world where there there's no hunger? Even in the days of the Bible. So guy, rest.

Tanzania flying into Nigeria is good news while the giant of Africa has no national carrier

The joke is on you...

Shit hole country...

Closeness to Europe that's all..

A guy said it up there..

SeraphicWind:
Who told you China is an Atheist state

Most of you just say things you know nothing of.

Just so you know sir, the chinese are far more religious than Nigerians. Infact, their own is even more spiritual.

The Chinese god is even a dragon. This means they worship a demon god

Stop saying what you don't know.

It is Africans that refused to develop. Development has nothing to do with religion.

Saudi Arabia is an extremist Muslim country yet developed.

You dey talk of Saudi wey get oyel money.. You no see hospital for Gaza... Very standard hospital.. Our leaders cannot die well

Na because he carry traveling bag

More words pls
