Renowned billionaire, Femi Otedola, has lauded the Dangote Refinery as the “eighth wonder of the world,” underscoring its pivotal role in spearheading Nigeria’s energy security.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Otedola expressed optimism about the refinery’s potential to usher in a new era of economic prosperity for Nigerians, both in the present and for generations to come.
Highlighting the refinery’s capability to meet the nation’s refined petroleum product demands, Otedola emphasized its crucial contribution to ensuring energy security and independence.
According to him, the Dangote Refinery is poised to act as a catalyst for transformative changes in the subcontinent.
Situated in Lagos and owned by Africa’s wealthiest individual, Aliko Dangote, the refinery is reported to have initiated operations with an impressive daily capacity of 350,000 barrels. The recent receipt of one million barrels of Agbami crude grade marks the commencement of a phased supply of six million barrels from diverse sources.
In a congratulatory message to his “bestie,” Aliko Dangote, Otedola commended him as a visionary patriot. The refinery, according to Otedola, transcends being a mere industrial milestone; it stands as a testament to Dangote’s visionary leadership and unwavering pursuit of excellence.
Otedola acknowledged the years of relentless dedication and sleepless nights Dangote invested over the past decade to transform the visionary concept into a tangible reality.
Concluding his message, Otedola asserted that the refinery serves as a beacon of hope for millions of Nigerians and Africans, positioning itself at the forefront of advocating environmental sustainability.
