Dangote Industries Limited has issued a statement addressing misleading reports regarding the commissioning of the company’s 650,000 barrels per day (bpd) Refinery project during the present working visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to Lagos State.
The statement, signed by Anthony Chiejina, Group Chief of Branding & Communications Officer, Dangote Industries Limited, clarified that the Refinery project was never part of the President’s program on projects to be commissioned.
According to the statement, the projects that are slated for commissioning in Lagos State by President Muhammadu Buhari include: Lekki Deep Sea Port, 32-Metric Tonnes Lagos Rice Mill, Imota, 18.75km Eleko to Epe T Junction Express road, John Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture and History, Onikan, Blue Line Rail (Phase 1) commissioning (Marina to Mile 2), Groundbreaking for the Blue Line Rail Phase 2 (Mile 2 to Okokomaiko), and MRS Lubricant, a private project in Apapa.
However, the statement reassured that the Refinery will be commissioned before President Muhammadu Buhari formally leaves office in May 2023, and the public will be duly informed and invited to the epic event.
