Africa’s richest man and owner of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote has said that ongoing $17 billion Gas pipeline, fertiliser, petrochemicals and refineries project at the Lekki Free Trade Zone (LFTZ), Lagos, would provide unhindered availability of petrol in the country.

He pointed out the the Gas pipeline when completed would also generate power for the country. Dangote, who took the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo SAN, and a host of dignitaries round the facility, added that the Gas pipeline would increase revenues to government, increase demand for domestic crude Petroleum of petrochemicals and foreign exchange from exports. He asserted that the Gas pipeline site is the largest industrial site in the world and there is an extremely good relationship with the community.


“This Gas pipeline sight is eight times the size of Victoria Island. It was designed to process a large variety of crudes, including all the African crudes, a range of Middle Eastern crudes and US crudes. The refinery has flexibility to convert kerosene to jet/diesel,” he added

Dangote noted that his business policy is not solely for profit making but to make Nigerians happy, saying “I am a proud Nigerian. I do not own even a 9inch block outside Nigeria. When I travel, I stay in a hotel”. He stated that for instance, “Dangote cement, if we take it to Ghana, we will make N500 on each bag, but we didn’t do that.

We (Dangote Group) are attacking the economy with a policy of no more import, which will create jobs. We are suffering today because we have not diversify the economy of Nigeria.” Expressing satisfaction over the ongoing Gas pipeline, Vice President Osinbajo, said the project will supply three billion cubic feet of gas daily and had the potential of solving the problem of electricity shortage which had plagued the nation for decades. According to him, the investment as a whole was an incredible industrial project being the largest and the most ambitious in Africa and possibly the entire world. Addressing journalists after a two-hour presentation on the entire project, Osinbajo described the Gas pipeline as a major asset for the country, if it can be done. “For me, that is the most important project that could be done in this country. It will be a major boost for industrial development,” he stated. Osinbajo explained that the sub-sea installation, estimated at N500 billion, would go all the way from Bonny in Rivers State through Ogedegbe, Olokola to Lekki and Escravos Lagos pipeline and then West Africa Gas Pipeline

Talking about securing the refinery, Osinbajo said the pipeline the was installed under the sea. “It is a subsea project. It is fortified and goes into the sea. It is not what anybody can go there and vandalise with the way it is designed. It is designed to prevent vandalisation. It is designed very deep into the sea,” the vice president maintained. Osinbajo opined that at the completion of the Gas pipeline, it is meant to refine 650,000 barrels per day. He said, “By all projection, it is the largest in the world. It has a petro-chemical plant. It also has fertilizer plant, which is projected to be the largest in the world. “The refinery will take off in the first quarter of 2019. I think the sub-sea gas pipeline,

which is very important project, is meant to take off in 2018. “The gas pipeline project there. It is an incredible industrial undertaking. It is possibly the largest and the most ambitious on the continent today. It is truly inspiring” Dignitaries that accompanied Osinbajo to the refinery site are the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dr. Kayode Fayemi; Minister of Works, Power & Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN); Minister of Industry, Trade & Investment, Mr. Okechukwu Enelamah; Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun and former Ekiti State Governor, Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo among others.

Forward your enquirers to Dangote himself and stop bothering us with your silly question...

Hope Dangote is making arrangement for crude outside Niger Delta tht he will be refining in his new refinery tht he is building in Lagos.
Because u cant be building refinery in Lagos & be loading crude from Niger Delta to refine in Lagos,unless he will be refining crude explored from sw.
if Dangote wants crude from Niger Delta he would have built his refinery in SS coz we have other peaceful states of Akwa ibom to build it if he feels Delta state is not safe.
we are watching & waiting coz what NDA is doing nw will be small compared with what will happen then if an inch of crude is to be lifted from Niger delta to be refined in Lagos.

Afonjas are the most lazy set of ppl we have in Nigeria & thts why they are scared of other southern part of the country from leaving.
morover,all other of those u listed arent generating or contributing anything to national coffers,thought u would have included cocoa.

Una go get sense. The refinery is close to the port and it's being built in such away that it can refine any
kind of oil

There is cheap oil everywhere. If y'all stress him, he will import. No need to scratch your ballz hun grin cheesy

Personally as a SWsterner, I don't even want him to get the oil from the ND because I can't stand minnows
talking shii about Yorubas

As it is now, the future of Nigeria is inevitably in the SW. 2019 na him una career go end cheesy grin.
