Dangote originally planned to site the refinery at Tanga in Tanzania because it's closer to sources of crude oil, but the port in Tanga is not big and deep. The port in Lamu is bigger and deeper and that's why they chose Lamu. Dangote had not even heard of Lamu before May this year. |

fineboynl:Wait, is this just bad belle? Anyway, everything that you wrote is wrong. 1) There are places in East Africa that produce crude oil and they considered siting the refinery in those places. But as I said, access to market is more important than closeness to oil fields. They chose Lamu because of its excellent port and closeness to markets. They are building pipelines to pipe the oil from East African oil fields to Lamu and they can also easily import from other places. Dangote Refinery in Lagos does not just depend on Nigerian oil, it imports from other places. 2) I wrote this on my diary this morning. Oh good! I have found the video again! This subject was on my mind in the 1990s, long before Dangote decided to build his refinery. There were 3 things on my mind in the 1990s, but that was 30 years ago and I have now forgotten one of them. There are 3 things that can give you many products. From a palm tree you can get: ⚫️ Cooking oil ⚫️ raw material (palm oil) for soaps ⚫️ raw material (palm oil) for candlewax ⚫️ raffia material ⚫️ brooms ⚫️ palm wine ⚫️ sugar And so on and so forth. Crude oil can get you: ⚫️ fuels like petrol, diesel, kerosene, etc. ⚫️ plastics ⚫️ polyproylene bags (aka nylon bags) ⚫️ synthetic fibres used in clothes And so on and so forth. I can't remember what the third thing was, but I know that it was a plant. Anyway: Dangote has no sense This was a common theme among Nigerian intellectuals around 10 to 15 years ago. It was a huge debate on Nairaland. One of them that is famous on Twitter asked how Bill Gates could be friends with someone like Dangote. They said that the world was moving on from internal combustion engines, yet Dangote was building a refinery. They made fun of him. Dangote's sense Meanwhile here is Dangote's sense. Apart from the fact that it will take a very long time before the world abandons petroleum based fuels, crude oil is not only used as fuel. There are many many many other products that Dangote gets from his refinery.

fineboynl:Most of the places that have a lot of large refineries do not have oil. You don't necessaey build refineries where there is oil, you build refineries where there is a market for oil. You build refineries where people will buy the petroleum products. 1 Like |

Backward integration The policy that Dangote and Obasanjo were talking about is called Backward Integration. Government made a rule that in order to get import licenses to import cement, you must show that you are producing cement in Nigeria. The amount of cement that you are allowed to import depends on the amount of cement that you make in Nigeria. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

President Ruto to Aliko Dangote: We have heard you say that you'll be back in 40 months to officially open the Lamu Oil Refinery. Kenyans are very good at keeping data. I want to warn you... they take me to task every time I give them a timeframe

Alhaji Aliko Dangote Aliko Dangote said that this refinery started like a joke. He said that President Ruto sent Samaila to him because they wanted to buy fertiliser. (He is referring to Samaila Zubairu, the president of the Africa Finance Corporation. He is a former Dangote executive). Samaila convinced Dangote to attend the Africa We Build Summit in Nairobi. Presidents Ruto and Museveni had a meeting with Dangote on the sidelines of the summit and that's when the refinery idea was born. The refinery was initially to be sited in Tanga, Tanzania, but after some research they settled on Lamu. Dangote said that he had never heard of Lamu before May this year. He said that he doesn't know what magic President Ruto used on him, but this is the second fastest project that they've done (after the fertiliser project in Ethiopia). They already have 110 equipment on site. Dangote promised the governor of Lamu that they are not just bringing a refinery, they are also bringing jobs. He promised to set up an academy to train graduates of engineering. He said that if they know anyone that studied engineering, they should tell him that he has a job. He talked about how difficult it was to build the refinery in Lekki. He said that people said that it was impossible, but the refinery showed that it was possible and this new refinery will show that it can be replicated. He thanked President Obasanjo for pushing him into cement manufacturing. He said that Obasanjo always calls him, "My boss", but it's not true because Obasanjo is older, more experienced and more accomplished than him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia03sNcxZAU?si=0LwknsBphgrTiHSH

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni (aka M7). Africa was betrayed by exports of raw materials. I’m very happy to be alive to see the betrayal of Africa, which has been going on for the last 70 years, coming to an end. Africa has been betrayed by leaders who refuse to study to know what it requires to develop a country. Dangote Refinery in Nigeria is in the west of the country. The oil is in the east and south. It can work because Nigeria is one country. The Igbo in the east don't mind if the oil is being taken to the west for refining because it is one country and they can go to Lagos to work in the refinery and the taxes are shared across the country. There would have been problems if it was not one country. The Igbo won't be happy if the oil is being taken to Yoruba land for refining. It is not the same in East Africa. I support this refinery, but I won't invest in it. I have said that a small refinery should be built in Uganda. Ugandans can't rely on this refinery for jobs. He called for the revival of the East Africa Economic Community. Full speech. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHZcH2lfIVw?si=thlzulpa3eXhyNYa

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo President Obasanjo said that we had been producing cement in Nigeria for almost 60 years, yet we were still importing. Most of the cement in Nigeria was imported, yet we had all the natural resources to make cement. "This kept me up one night and I couldn't sleep. I phoned Aliko at 5am. He sounded sleepy, so I asked if I had woken him and he replied that he was awake. I asked him to see me at 7am. He replied that it was bad enough that I had woken him, but now I was asking him to see me at 7am when the first flight from Lagos to Abuja was 7am. I asked how soon he could see me and he said 9am. He came at exactly 9am. I asked him why he was still importing cement when everything necessary to make cement was available in Nigeria. He said, "Mr President, it is cheaper to import cement than it is to manufacture cement in Nigeria. I asked him what he needs in order to be able to make cement in Nigeria. He replied, "Make it as easy to make cement in Nigeria as it is to import. I still hadn't got the answer so I asked him, "What do I need to do to make you manifacture cement in Nigeria"? He said, "Tie my importation of cement to my manifacturing of cement in Nigeria". I said that he should go. I have gotten my answer." President Obasanjo had asked Dangote if he was sure that he could make cement in Nigeria. Dangote said that he could produce 50 million metric tonnes of cement. President Obasanjo told him to bring a plan for 50 million metric tonnes, which he did. Obasanjo said that senior civil servants told him that Dangote was lying and that he could not produce 50 million tonnes of cement and that he just wanted import licenses. Obasanjo said that he simply thought, "We shall see". He said that Dangote was building the largest cement plant in Africa and he (Obasanjo) put two security people at the plant. They reported back to Obasanjo on activities at the plant. Any day that work did not take place, they would tell Obasanjo and Obasanjo would call Dangote and tell him that there was no work at the site and Dangote would tell Obasanjo the reason why it was so. One day Dangote came to Obasanjo and told him that he (Obasanjo) made him worried. President Obasanjo said that he thought that he had done something wrong. Dangote said that the plant was a private business, not government business, yet it seemed like President Obasanjo knew more about what was happening at the plant than him who owned the plant. President Obasanjo replied that the plant was very important to every Nigerian, therefore it was not just a private business, it was a Nigeria business. President Obasanjo said that thankfully the plant was commissioned just before he left office. He said that he began taking Dangote out. He took Dangote to Ethiopia and introduced him to President Meles, took him to Senegal and introduced him to President Wade, took him to Botswana and other places. He said that there was a lot of opposition and the biggest opposition came from a French company called Lafarge. He said that Dangote built his cement plant in Senegal but just after it was commissioned Lafarge claimed that the land belonged to them. They sued Dangote and the case was in court for 2 years. Dangote won the case, but Lafarge continued to create problems for him until Dangote paid them millions of dollars to make the problem go away. Obasanjo said that today Dangote is the biggest cement manufacturer in Africa while Lafarge is no longer in Africa. He said that Dangote embarrassed him a few weeks ago. He invited him to his refinery in Lekki and told all the staff to come out. He told them to thank President Obasanjo for their jobs because it was Obasanjo that pushed him to start manufacturing cement and without the cement factories he wouldn't have had the confidence to establish the refinery and they wouldn't have had their present jobs. All the staff began thanking Obasanjo. President Obasanjo said that Dangote was his boss (Dangote had earlier said that Obasanjo calls him, "My boss", but it's not true and he is not Obasanjo's boss). He said that, "I made policies, but my policies would have failed if not for Dangote and others like Wale (Wale please stand up) and others that took advantage of them". (He was referring to Wale Tinubu). He therefore said, "Dangote, you are my boss and you will always be my boss".
