Africa's richest man is building one of the world's largest oil refineries


Nigeria is Africa's top oil producer, yet it's in the middle of a fuel crisis. The missing link: oil refineries. To address this massive disconnect, billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote is building an oil refinery right outside Lagos.

world's largest oil refineries in Lagos. That's a welcome development.

I see Jobs opportunities.

Monopoly of $$$

Always taking the lead.

Nice job indeed, I've scoured the internet for pictures of this refinery

Sadly the fact still remains; government in Africa is a monumental failure just imagine an oil producing country without a working refinery. I mean don't these sick people understand the meaning of comparative advantage.... well let me sit and watch how we turn the tables as the century unfolds

okay

Nice development

Nice move. This will create job

Great

We all know some regions have made their lands unsafe to investors (we are still appealing to them though)

But Mr Dangote,

Why do you still have to put this massive project in already congested Lagos and not neighboring States like Ogun, Oyo or even Ondo

The area is simply an Investment opportunity for Nigerians to invest and own lands near a Refinery at the free trade zone Ibeju Lekki. This place is going to be like Apapa in the next 3 to 5 years and its best for those who have small pocket change to buy lands there so your children would not insult you in future why you don't own lands in that area when their classmate parents bought it years back at a very cheap rate. Last year it was going for N500K per Plot, now its going for N1 to 1.5 Million.

The only snag i have about this place is that now that the omoniles know development is coming there at a rapid pace so they are getting more fraudulent and reselling government or other people's lands to unsuspecting buyers. So you have to shine your eyes. All in all Well done to Dangote for opening up that place and please don't be like my parents who scoffed at the idea of buying Lekki Lands 20years ago because it was Bush only to regret it today. Be a land owner and invest there for your children. Me i don buy my own. Na you remain

Cheers

maybe a short term refinery, because Lagos will be under water in 150 years time

Chai!
Make I come go do helper.. Man must chop

Been there. Very massive site.

Beautiful, Niger delta avengers cannot near this one, because its not in there region. And if they try nonsense, them go hear am...

Way to go

Lagos is very welcoming and no silly restiveness here.

Employment opportunities for Lagosians for not being silly like the avengers

Good step... the problem now is what happens to the four sickle-celled refineries

Keep off military zone.

He has commenced d training of those that will work there. About 100 or thereabout are in india right now training. That's the first phase

Good

Nigerians no know wetin de FG of them. You think any refinery will work in Nigeria? Before that of dangote? I laugh.

We all would have to wait for his refinery.

And oil is now in Lagos. I'm a proud Yoruba man

You Yorubas are very funny, so you think the refinery Dangote is building its going to run with Lagos oil... Smh, Refinery dangote has already started building a very long time before oil was discovered in Lagos.
.

If they should discover oil in all the local gov't in Lagos state and Ondo state combined, it will not even near a finger tip of the least producing oil state in the s/s(south south). Its like 5/5,000 in comparision.
