Africa: Dangote Aims for Fuel Self-Sufficiency by 2030 – La Nouvelle Tribune

Aliko Dangote announced in Nairobi his goal to help most African countries become self-sufficient in fuels by 2030. He revealed the upcoming construction of a new refinery in Lamu, Kenya, with a total investment of 16 billion dollars and a capacity of 700,000 barrels per day. The project aims to boost refining capacity in East Africa, reducing reliance on imported refined petroleum products. The refinery’s strategic location on the Indian Ocean and potential support from the LAPSSET corridor are key advantages.
