Abstract:The Dangote Refinery would save Nigeria between $25 and $30 billion in FX each year and will inject $10 billion into the economy, according to Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The Dangote Refinery would save Nigeria between $25 and $30 billion in FX each year and will inject $10 billion into the economy, according to Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The refinery will produce 12,000 megawatts of electricity and more than 135,000 permanent jobs, he added.
Speaking during President Muhammadu Buhari's official launching of the Dangote Oil Refinery in Lagos State, Emefiele made the statement, even though we stated that President Muhammadu Buhari will actively implement the ongoing initiatives and efforts to diversify the economy and increase the competitiveness of the nation, people continued to have doubts about us.
In addition to listing our strategic initiatives in agriculture and other important areas, we emphasized the refinery project to our community of international investors. They had their doubts, Your Excellency.
They questioned our ability to complete this assignment successfully. Your Excellency, looking back, I can understand their skepticism because they don't see how a single person, a man like Dangote, could create a refinery that could serve an entire country and continent.
I'm happy to say that this project will benefit Nigerians economically in a number of ways. For starters, it will create approximately 135,000 permanent jobs and thousands of direct jobs.
“I am also pleased to announce that approximately 12,000 megawatts of electricity would be produced.” The project will save a lot of money on foreign exchange and will make it easier for the federal government's fiscal agency to access data.
The governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who also spoke, claimed that Dangote, who arrived in Lagos 45 years ago with nothing, has since created the largest empire in the world for Africa.
“Dangote came to Lagos with nothing about 45 years ago, but he is now Africa's richest man,” Sanwo-Olu jokingly remarked in his speech.
Dangote is a highly successful businessman who is a Lagosian who has invested in the prosperity of the state and Nigeria, according to the guy who described him as a detribalized man who recognized the wealth of the state.
Alhaji Aliko Dangote, the chairman and CEO of the Dangote Group, stated that his first objective is to ramp up production of the various items to ensure that they are able to completely meet the nation's need for quality products within this year.
For our transportation industry, there will always be high-quality fuels available, and the refinery will provide our businesses with crucial raw materials for a variety of production processes, he said.
Our objective to generate what we consume and to encourage self-sufficiency in the fundamental requirements of our people is what drives our Group's corporate vision.
We chose a facility with cutting-edge technology and a size and capacity that will revolutionize the market in Africa and around the world.
A 650,000 barrel per day (BPD) oil refinery is the Dangote oil and petrochemical refinery. It ranks as the seventh-biggest oil refinery in the world, the largest single-train refinery on Earth, and the largest in Africa.
According to Dangote, it can meet the energy needs of both Nigeria and Africa.

Launched in 2019, Immediate Edge claims to be an automated cryptocurrency trading platform using AI technology for crypto trading services. The platform requires a minimum deposit of $250 to begin trading, which is relatively expensive for many investors. During its short operation, Immediate Edge failed to establish a positive reputation. The platform has undergone frequent domain changes and has repositioned itself as an intermediary connecting users with investment firms—a move that appears designed to obscure its actual operations. Immediate Edge restricts services to investors from the United States; it remains accessible to users in other regions.
