BINL To Build $15bn 500,000bpd Refinery, Establish FTZ In Ondo by Putindbutt(op): 6:50pm On Jul 09, 2025

Backbone Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (BINL) has concluded plans to construct and operate a 500,000 barrel per day (BPD) refinery at the Sunshine Industrial Park in Ogboti, Eruuna and establish the Sunshine Free Trade Zone (FTZ) in the Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State.

[b]The refinery, a joint venture with the Ondo State Government represented by the Ondo State Development and Investment Promotion Agency (ONDIPA), will cost $15 billion, with phase one expected to be completed within 48 months.
BINL is exploring partnership with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to facilitate the delivery of this ultra-modern crude oil refinery.

According to a statement on Wednesday. BINL has scheduled a courtesy visit to the Governor of Ondo State, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, on July 14, 2025.

BINL and the Ondo State Government represented by ONDIPA, will then formally execute memoranda of understanding on July 15, 2025 to kick off the delivery of the projects.

According to BINL, a multi-sectoral infrastructure development company with offices in Abuja, London and Zug, this project will be phased commencing with a 100,000 refinery.

BINL’s Vice-President for Corporate Services, Mr Wale Adekola, said the BINL refinery will provide petroleum products for local consumption, feedstock for other local industries and petroleum products for the international market.

The refinery project includes the construction of roads, storage tanks, loading bays, terminals and handling equipment. The scope of the Free Trade Zone Project includes the development of the required infrastructure and facilities for the effective operation and management of the Free Trade Zone.

The development framework includes a comprehensive and strict governance structure for the development of the local community in compliance with international standards and relevant laws.

According to Adekola, these projects will contribute significantly to reducing Nigeria’s trade deficit, conserving foreign exchange reserves, increasing government revenue and economic development.

He said at the state and local levels, these projects will create local jobs, stimulate the local economy through increased demand for goods and services, noting that the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy includes community engagement programmes, such as education initiatives, local employment quotas and infrastructure development for surrounding communities.

He revealed that the company is engaging local stakeholders early to mitigate potential opposition to the project.[/b]

Oil sector reforms and removal of subsidy fraud is gradually transforming the oil sector, investors are now confident to build new refineries and maximize profits unlike in the past where subsidy regime discouraged potential investors. More interesting is the fact that state governments are now investing in businesses like seaports, refinery, airlines, as a result of the business friendly policies of the Tinubu Administration. Let the coalition of failures tell us if they're going to bring back subsidy, reverse these gains and take us back to the dark era but like Wike said, those losers will never get back to power.

Thank goodness that no one will be getting dollars at official rate or whatever legal scam they call it.
You can’t take away subsidy and not dismantle foreign exchange disparity. His policies are harsh but effective, only an insincere person would think otherwise.

I like the fact that it's a joint venture between the state and the investor. Hopefully, the people will benefit.

LASG should have done the same with Dangote.

Maybe some governors are just waking up. Get license to explore the mineral resources through any framework or vehicle available . Be it PPP or any joint ventures. Don't just sit down and allow a few to continue improvish you and turn you into a regular monthly allocation beggars. Ondo has bitumen in abundance, zamfara has enough gold , etc but you won't see their various governments stand up to form alliance that can generate income. I don't understand how they think or plan

Who else noticed the first sign of fraud in this proposal?
15billion dollars for a 500,000 bd refinery. While Dangote’s 650k bd refinery cost $20billion notwithstanding he got dollars at extremely subsidized rate to build the refinery.

Now that dollars is 4X higher than it was when Dangote built his, how do these people expect to meet up?

.. this isn't the first time we'll be hearing news like this in Ondo State.

What happened to the bitumen MOU signed by Aketi? What about Ondo deepsea port? Where is Olokola today?
