Africa’s richest man and President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, has applauded the support and vision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other key figures in the successful commencement of production at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery. The landmark project has brought forth significant advancements in Nigeria’s energy sector and symbolizes the nation’s capacity for large-scale project development and delivery.
In his statement, Dangote credited President Tinubu’s encouragement and assistance in overcoming obstacles and expediting the completion of the refinery.
