History is in the making, a positive history indeed!
In the next three months, production activities will commence in the multi billion-dollar Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical complex situated in the Ibeju-Lekki axis of Lagos State, with the train one of the fertiliser plant expected to come on stream. But even as that historical day approaches, the project is already adding value to the lives of Nigerians through skills acquisition, jobs and wealth creations.

Bamidele Famoofo writes that the project on completion will change the dynamics of the nation’s economy

Though Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical project, where petroleum products, gas and fertilizers are planned to be produced at commercial quantities is still being developed, its impact on its immediate environment and by extension, the nation in general, gives hope for a better tomorrow for Nigerians.

For instance, no fewer than 120 companies, which operate in the country are on contract to provide goods and services worth 368 million Euros (about N148billion) to both the refinery and petrochemical projects for the period the various works going on simultaneously in the complex would be completed.

In terms of employment generation, about 37,500 people, mostly Nigerians, are engaged in the various construction works going on in the complex. They have temporary jobs through contractors for a period not less than four years when the projects within the complex will be completed to earn a living wage.
