Just an honest question that needs an honest answer

Why can't these refineries be built in other states of the country?

Lagos is extremely congested already while other states literally have nothing

Flangelo12:
Safety has nothing to do with it?

Go to Sambisa to open a beer parlour na.

lilsmart:

Okoroawusa:
After now someone will come and say it's because Lagos was a federal capital many years ago like Calabar and Lokoja were not once capitals. When you catch them on that one they will change and tell you it's because Lagos is by the sea like Port Harcourt, Warri, and many coastal cities in Nigeria are not by the sea.

amazingspiderma:
I pity all the Southern governors who decamp to APC with nothing to show their people.

They will tell you revenue, but no national projects presence .

At least the Southsouth and Southeast should have gotten a refinery each to show benefit for decamping.

Building a second refinery in Lagos with no proven commercial well.

Dangote imports crude oil to refine in Lagos and sell to all regions.
These SS and SW governors are the dumbest set we have ever produced.

SS and SE will never learn.

gracealonev:
That new refinery should plan to import crude oil.

Flangelo12:
The Internet allows all manner of dunces to have an opinion and claim they are making sense.

Nobody, would locate any meaningful industry, especially of national interest in the restive East.

Not even your brothers would.

FutureFocus:
Lagos excel because of its early lead in development and continuous open hands to investors and visitors, its social lifestyle and the fact that most companies headquarters are here

Mccullum:
Lagos enjoying attractions of investors simply because of the attitude of Yoruba people on acception and hospitality given to those hosted in their community.

Hence, security of lives and properties of investors guarantee within the state.

stuffs2002:
Lagos just dey give enemies uppercut upandan

Tjra:
Lagos state government always wooing investors. This is what our governors in Southeast should be doing.

Lets bring production to the east. Abia state has the potential to be the factory of Africa. There is stable power there now.

We have what it takes.

As delta state don use cultists chase away all the expatriates. The problem of delta state is the people living there

Eboofa:
Rubbish! Let Lagos attract all the investors and investment it can...no wahala but Yorubas must stop sabotaging federal government investment in the southeast especially! That's where we have problems ........it is a travesty of justice t....that there is no high pressure gas pi That’s witchcraft peline into the east...no rail...no new international airport terminal......no powerplant in the southeast.........

The southwest and northwest incestuous alliance have sworn ..that no meaningful infrastructure project will go to the east!

Let's hit on the undeniable logistical truth the sheer scale of machinery for massive industrial projects like refineries makes Lagos's ports the only feasible entry point, as their unique capacity and heavy lift capabilities are unmatched elsewhere. The infamous struggle to transport Dangote's equipment from Lagos port to its site a journey within the same state exposes the impracticality of using other ports, which lack the draft, equipment, and connected heavy haul road networks. This creates a vicious cycle where investors, seeking the path of least resistance and lowest risk, funnel all major projects through Lagos, inevitably choking the city.


The extensive practice of sand filling and land reclamation, as seen in major developments like Eko Atlantic and numerous other coastal estates, is a primary cause of flooding in Lagos. This process drastically reduces the natural channels and basins that would otherwise absorb and hold tidal and rainwater.
A practical illustration is to imagine a cup full of water if you then pour sand into it, the displaced water has no choice but to overflow.[/b]


Similarly, when sand fills rivers, oceans or sea the displaced water overwhelms drainage systems and floods adjacent neighborhoods like Lekki and Victoria Island.

While the government often demolishes houses and shops for obstructing waterways a measure that is sometimes justified t overlooks its own primary role in exacerbating flooding through extensive land reclamation projects like Eko Atlantic.

Yet, instead of halting such environmentally disruptive paradise building, authorities frequently shift blame onto vulnerable communities, destroying livelihoods under the pretext of enforcing laws they themselves undermine through unsustainable planning.

Irony1:
This is a childish vomment from you bro. Even at thst it is still future tense. I can bet you after 2027 you will not hear anything on that refinery. Any reasonable consultancy company that does EIA will kick seriously against another refinery in an already congested Lagos.
