Nigerian businessman, Femi Otedola, in a social media post, has described the Dangote Refinery as the “eighth wonder of the modern era”, after President Bola Tinubu’s visit to the facility in Lagos.

Recall, Tinubu visited the $20 billion refinery and petrochemical plant by Aliko Dangote on Thursday, and described it as a “massive investment and point of reference.”

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, Otedola expressed admiration for both the project and the leadership behind it.

He wrote,”Today, I witnessed history. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, our visionary leader, visited the $20 billion Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical Plant, the single largest single-train refinery in the world, an eighth wonder of the modern era, built by my dear friend and brother, Aliko Dangote.”

Otedola also commended Tinubu for commissioning of the Deep Sea Port Access Road in the Lekki area, reaffirming his support for the president’s vision and leadership.

The road connects the Dangote Fertiliser Plant to Eleko Junction, a key infrastructure link within the Lekki Free Trade Zone.

He continued, ”Over two decades ago, as Governor of Lagos State, President Tinubu envisioned an economic powerhouse on the Atlantic coast, what we now know as the Lekki Free Trade Zone. Today, that vision stands tall in steel, concrete, and ambition.

“A great leader takes people where they don’t necessarily want to go, but ought to be. That is the essence of President Tinubu.”

Otedola expressed optimism in Nigeria’s future, and emphasised the importance of backing the administration ongoing reforms.

In Otedola words,”Nigeria is rising and those of us who believe in her will continue to support the bold reforms that will make her the greatest transformation story of the 21st century.”

People like Otedola should even be more critical of Tinubu bcs they lose more fortune under him. These are the guys behind fuel subsidy scam but Tinubu cut it off. The economic recession orchestrated by Tinubu reform of removal of fuel and dollar subsidies has more negative impact on Otedola than you poor man. Yet he sees more opportunity going forward and has started to restrategize to harness the prospective goodness. You poor people remain in the same mindset and will still not benefit from the new Nigeria. After God na Tinubu

Bluntemperor:
And your wisdom cannot digest the beauty 😍 of the good news of Nigeria owning a Refinery? Why are you so always negative?
