I’m Resting After Delivering $20bn Refinery – Dangote by Islie(op): 8:03pm On Mar 05, 2025

President of Dangote Industries Limited, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has said he is currently resting after delivering his refinery project.

The 650,000-barrel refinery and petrochemicals project worth over $20bn has come to disrupt the oil and gas market in Africa and the world even as the refinery now exports refined products to other countries in Africa and Middle East.

Dangote recently spoke about the challenges he faced constructing the refinery which he described as the biggest risk of his life, saying he went through hell.

But speaking during the groundbreaking ceremony of the 43-storey building new First Bank Head Office at Eko Atlantic City in Lagos, Dangote said he’s now resting after delivering the project.

He commended his friend and ally, Mr. Femi Otedola, who is the Chairman of FirstHoldCo for daring to put up a 43-storey edifice in Eko Atlantic as the new Head Office of FirstBank, Nigeria’s oldest financial institution.

He said Eko Atlantic has become the new City of Lagos and with FirstBank joining the list of corporate entities in the emerging industrial city, more banks would come in.

Dangote however stated that Otedola had also invited him to come to Eko Atlantic, adding, “Maybe soon, not now I’m resting right now. Having delivered the refinery I need some rest but I’ll come, I’ll be here very soon. So I want to congratulate you (Otedola) and the entire board and management of First Bank for taking this bold move of building a massive edifice in the new City of Lagos.”

The groundbreaking is being attended by Vice-President Kashim Shettima, Governors of Lagos, Ogun and Ondo – Babajide Sanwo-Olu; Dapo Abiodun and Lucky Aiyedatiwa respectively.

Others are Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr. Femi Hamza; former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki; former Governor of Delta State, James Ibori, among others.

Other billionaires and CEOs in attendance included CEO of Pacific Holdings, Dr. Deji Adeleke; CEO of Sapetro, Senator Daisy Danjuma; Ambassador Gilbert Chagoury; Alhaji Mustapha Indimi, among others.

He'd transform Nigeria in no time.

Food processing and preservation
The North should be a real food hub, with industrialised agriculture.

You cannot rest because; There is no peace,” says the LORD, “ for the wicked.

Unless you crash the price of your PMS to 300Naira Per Litre; Aliko, your Refinery will eventually be auctioned at Gbanjo.

In 2013, when the news of a Dangote Refinery that was being built filtered around; what we saw in the news was that the Refinery would cost $9 Billion to be built.

Now, all all of a sudden, the Refinery is now valued at $20 Billion ?

Listen to me Aliko; Your OVERINFLATED, SUBSTANDARD CHINESE-BUILT REFINERY will eventually be auctioned at Gbanjo with dozens of Jingling Bells - unless you rein in your insatiable greed and crash the price of your Petroleum Products to the barest minimum in the Nigerian Markets.

You more than deserve it, sir, because a child who is diligent in his works, must create time for relaxation/pleasure.

Unbehalf of Nigerians, I appreciate you for your contributions to the Nigerian economy and for impacting in the lives of the downtrodden.

God bless you, sir!

If Government gives him Dangote the license to generate and supply electricity, Nigeria will have a steady power supply within 6years.

Good for you, well-deserved.
I don't know if I will ever become rich in this life. I've tried and tried but God is looking my way at all. There seems to be no ray of hope. Survival is something else
