As world shifts to cleaner energy, Africa's richest man inaugurates humongous oil refinery

Owned by Africa’s wealthiest individual, Aliko Dangote, the primary objective of the colossal refinery constructed by the Dangote Group is to yield an impressive daily output of 53 million litres of gasoline, 4 million litres of diesel and 2 million litres of aviation jet fuel and enough surplus for export. The refinery was inaugurated by the outgoing president Muhammadu Buhari on 22 May 2023 in Lagos, Nigeria, and was attended by five African presidents, including President Gnassingbé Eyadéma of Togo, President Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana, President Macky Sall of Senegal, President Mohamed Bazoum of the Republic of Niger, and President Mahamat Déby of Chad and other high-level officials. The Dangote Oil Refinery, with a processing capacity of 650,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd), located on 2,635 hectares in the Dangote Industries Free Zone in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos, employs over 100,000 people. The refinery is nestled alongside various other components envisioned in the masterplan. This comprehensive blueprint encompasses a proposed airport, a vibrant start-up community, and a blend of commercial and residential zones. “It is clear that this event marks a milestone for our economy and is a game changer for the downstream petroleum products market, not only in Nigeria, but on the entire African continent,” said President Muhammadu Buhari.https://qonversations.world/dangote-inaugurates-africas-biggest-oil-refinery-in-nigeria/?twclid=2-405ibdnelyhus9h3xd0zxdqdo

    We need to balance the development of traditional energy infrastructure with investments in renewable energy sources.

                    The sad part is that national leaders are part of the scheme. We need sincere leaders who can stand for the interests of the people and the interests of climate.

                        I meant to put this in... As the ruling party candidate on the campaign trail, President Tinubu helped launch the northern project in November alongside his predecessor Muhammadu Buhari, who stepped down last week & has long pushed to bring oil to the upper part of the country trib.al/YLBHexG

                            As long as there is demand, there is no way to control fossil fuels. We have to diminish the demand for their products, that way they will have no choice.
