President Muhammadu Buhari will on May 22 commission the
Dangote Refinery in Lagos State.
This was disclosed by Buhari’s Special Assistant on Digital
Communications, Bashir Ahmad.
Ahmad said the 650,000 barrels per day refinery would boost
the Federal Government’s effort to make Nigeria self-sufficient.
Tweeting, Ahmad wrote: “Efforts by the Federal Government to
make Nigeria self-sufficient in local refining of crude oil to save the scarce
foreign exchange used in the importation of petroleum products have received a
boost as the 650,000 barrels per day Dangote Refinery, the world’s largest
single-train refinery, is set for inauguration on May 22nd, 2023, by President
Muhammadu Buhari.”
Recall that the Dangote Group earlier announced plans to
launch the refineries.
