Construction of Dangote’s Lamu Oil Refinery to Start in October.
Aliko Dangote says construction of his proposed oil refinery at Lamu on Kenya's north coast will begin in October.
Nairobi – Construction of the proposed Dangote oil refinery in Lamu is set to begin in October, Africa's richest man Aliko Dangote has said.
Background
Aliko Dangote is a Nigerian industrialist whose Dangote Group built the refinery at Lekki, near Lagos, one of the largest single-train refineries in the world. It began shipping its first products in 2023.
Lamu, on Kenya's north coast, is the site of Lamu Port, the anchor project of the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport corridor, known as LAPSSET. Its first berths were commissioned in 2021.
Kenya has had no operating crude oil refinery since the state-owned Kenya Petroleum Refineries Limited plant in Mombasa stopped processing crude in 2013, leaving the country dependent on imported refined fuel.
That was a Kibra News Network report, read by an A I voice.
