Yesterday, the Dangote Petroleum Refinery announced that it can fulfill the petroleum needs of ECOWAS countries.
This aligns with the description provided by ECOWAS leaders yesterday, who referred to the 650,000-barrel refinery as more than an engineering achievement—it embodies ambition, vision, and industrial self-reliance for the whole continent.
During a high-level visit to the state-of-the-art 650,000 barrels-per-day facility, the President of the ECOWAS Commission, H.E. Dr Omar Alieu Touray, declared the refinery a beacon of hope for Africa’s future, and a clear demonstration of what the private sector can achieve in the drive for regional industrialisation.
