By Jon Egie with agency report
A 650,000 barrels per day (bpd) capacity refinery and petrochemical company owned by Dangote Industries Limited will be inaugurated on Monday, May 22.
The refinery completion cost is worth 96 billon USD.
Mr Anthony Chiejina, Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer, Dangote Industries Ltd., disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Lagos.
The 650,000 bpd refinery is expected to boost the Federal Government’s effort to make Nigeria self-sufficient.
The Dangote Refinery complex located in the Lekki Free Zone area of Lagos, covers a land area of approximately 2,635 hectares, which is larger than the entire Victoria Island.
The refinery is the biggest in Africa and also the biggest single-train facility in the world.
A single-train refinery uses an integrated distillation unit or one Crude Distillation Unit (CDU) to refine crude oil into various petroleum products.
This is against the use of multiple distillation units by most big refineries.
The refinery will be inaugurated by President Muhammadu Buhari in Lagos
