Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has expressed support for the construction of a proposed 17-billion-US-dollar regional oil refinery to boost industrialisation and energy security in East Africa.
According to a statement issued by the State House on Sunday, Museveni made the remarks during a meeting with visiting Nigerian industrialist Aliko Dangote, who proposed the project.
Museveni said the refinery would form part of broader efforts to advance regional integration, value addition and industrial development across Africa.
