Aliko Dangote's refinery project in Kenya already divides

Aliko Dangote's proposed refinery in Lamu County, Kenya, costing $15-17 billion and capable of processing 700,000 barrels per day, faces strong opposition. Greenpeace Africa and local residents criticize environmental risks to mangroves, coral reefs, and fisheries, as well as increased fossil fuel dependence. Critics demand thorough impact assessments, while Dangote Industries plans financing through internal cash, bonds, and an IPO, aiming to eventually exceed the Lagos refinery's current 700,000 bpd capacity.
