The Federal Government has described the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals as a cornerstone of Nigeria’s ambition to build a $1 trillion economy, pledging deeper collaboration with the private sector to accelerate industrialisation, job creation and economic transformation.
Minister of State for Industry, Senator John Owan Enoh, made the declaration on Thursday after leading a high-level delegation from the Ministry on an extensive tour of the 700,000 barrels-per-day Dangote Petroleum Refinery, Dangote Petrochemicals complex and Dangote Fertiliser Limited in Lagos.
The Minister described the integrated industrial complex as one of the most significant investments in Africa and a model for the type of industrial development required to drive Nigeria’s economic growth aspirations.
