How about the environmental pollution it will cause in Lagos , is lagos not too small and crowded for such a big refinery?

I read:
Oil refineries emit large amounts of air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. These pollutants can cause respiratory problems, including asthma, and increase the risk of heart disease and lung cancer etc i think lagos is too small and crowded for such a big refinery

Cos of nearness to the sea which ll aid international movement or oil.
It's the best.
If Dangote went to Delta or Rivers, established militant base ll disturb him. Now he's to worry about militants that ll migrate to Lagos or those that ll arise in Lagos which can be easily combated.

FrancisDiote:
Money can't buy LIFE. Health is wealth, measures needs to be put in place to checkmate health hazards

Nigeria get life before? The refinery ll be of more good than bad.

Aemmyjah:
So, one man's profit is more important than the wellbeing and environment of the people?

Have we been living well with or without refinery?
Every technological breakthrough has its advantage and disadvantage. This refinery has more benefits for Nigeria. Your family or yourself go get job. Someone you know that know someone from somewhere ll get job.

Styluss:
Ogun and Ondo also have sea shores, the problem is they dont have an established sea port and that will be an extra cost

Eggxactly.
I even heard rumours Ogun past gov used beef & selfishness to reject the refinery in Ogun. Spiritual attack niyen o!
Rumours though!

Mrfeel:
But how about the environmental pollution it will cause in Lagos?

The profit ll over whelm the disadvantages.

IPob terrorists will blow it up if situated in south east

He should have built it in ondo or ogun since he is afraid of niger delta militants

LAGOS is the best place to locate refinery for the following reasons:

Niger Delta Environment is already polluted and degraded by crude exploitation activities.

LAGOSIANS are used to noise pollution, congestion, poor public and personal hygiene. Lagosians are used to shanty / ghetto lifestyle. They are used to harassment by TOUTS and thugs. They are used to a life devoid of human dignity and decency.

Therefore, mere carbon pollution from petrochemical will not be noticed.

So, when the government of Ondo and Ogun refused to cooperate and create the enabling environment for the project, he should force them or use juju to hijack their land?

This overwhelming profit you talk about , it's worth the pollution of the most populated city in Nigeria?

Why not do it in ogun or ondo state, are ipobs there too ?

How did they refuse to cooperate?

Not the best place at all, that refinery is designed to fail , it's not close to any oil field , it's too close to a massive urban centre

Anambra na him good nah.

Flangelo12:
Go and remove it na.

It will do more harm than good to the environment of Lagos both the water and air

Mrfeel:

Google is your friend, do your research.

Why not ondo ,ogun or akwa ibom?

He should have built it in Norway. That way the refined petroleum would remain there and Nigeria’s situation would stay the same. Na backwardness we like. Why the man wan pour sand for our garri?

But the question is , is lagos the best place for dangote refinery , how about the environmental pollution?

There are many places in Nigeria he could have built this refinery , but lagos is too small and crowded

Nigeria as a whole is easily accessible. He should have gone overseas.

It isn't built in a crowded area... Lekki Free trade zone is an industrial area far away from crowded zone

It's by the sea close to the Atlantic ocean and pollution can't reach mainland Lagos

I'm not talking about just the water pollution but the air pollution aswell , it can't reach mainland?

No it can't

Air pollution travels far you know?

Lagos, Ogun and Ondo states are the safe place compares to the state who used to kill their policemen

You can take it to Agulu in Anambra state.

Environmental impact accessment was made by experts

Epe is 75km

Lekki is 44 km

Closest area

Out of these 3 States you mentioned , ogun and ondo are the best, why small and crowded Lagos that's my question
