Dangote to build refinery in Tanzania similar to Lagos 650,000 bpd plant
Aliko Dangote has announced plans to build a new oil refinery in Tanzania that will be identical to his flagship facility in Lagos, as part of a broader push to expand refining capacity across Africa.
He made this known on Thursday during a panel session at the Africa Finance Corporation summit held in Nairobi, where he spoke alongside Kenyan President William Ruto and Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni.
The proposed refinery, to be located in Tanga, is expected to process crude from countries including the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan, positioning it as a regional energy hub for East Africa.
