Senate President Godswill Akpabio says Aliko Dangote, chairman of Dangote Group, shamed many people by completing his petroleum refinery.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio says Aliko Dangote, chairman of Dangote Group, shamed many people by completing the 650,000 barrels per day petroleum refinery.
Akpabio condemned those who were sceptical of the completion of the refinery, describing them as “dream killers”.He said detractors of the refinery had all been silenced and previous governments had been put to shame with the completion of the project. Akpabio also said the federal government could not make refineries in Kaduna, Port Harcourt, and Warri function but the billionaire and his team proved it is possible to build a functioning refiner in Nigeria.“The inability of the nation to refine its oil has brought untold hardship on Nigerians so much so that the Belgian government recently banned the exportation of dirty and condemned fuel to West African countries just because we can’t refine our own products,” he added.
“The refinery has the requisite capacity to provide energy security both by providing a ready home for our crude and in ensuring steady availability of petroleum products for all. “Dangote Cement sustains about 70,000 direct and indirect jobs across Africa, while the refinery, petroleum chemical complex, and fertiliser will be able to create over 150,000 direct and indirect jobs.
