The richest man in Tanzania, Mohammed Dewji, seeing Dangote’s refinery expansion in East Africa, has decided to get in on the action.

The Tanzanian billionaire recently disclosed his intentions to invest $100 million in Dangote’s planned refinery in Kenya.

“I have spoken to Aliko; what he is doing in Nigeria is unbelievable, and as a matter of fact, I will also reach out to him, that if he's putting a refinery in East Africa, I will co-invest," the Tanzanian billionaire stated.

"I would lean more toward Tanzania than in Kenya,” Dewji said in an interview on Thursday, as seen on Bloomberg.

However, he did not rule out his participation should Dangote select a location within the region's largest economy.
