The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila has congratulated Africa’s foremost businessman, Aliko Dangote, over the commissioning of his 650,000 barrels per day (BPD) Dangote Oil Refinery.
The multi-billion dollar facility was commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari in Lagos on Monday.
While describing the feat by Dangote as a game changer, Gbajabiamila said the coming to fruition of the refinery has the potential of repositioning Nigeria as the true economic giant of Africa and a key player in the global energy sector.
According to him, Dangote’s determination and unrivalled patriotism has always dictated the direction of his investments into commodities that benefit Nigerians as evidenced by his contributions to almost every sector of the Nigerian economy.
He said Dangote’s patriotic pan-Nigerian posture is worthy of emulation by other Nigerian investors, and noted that government and Nigerians can not wait to start reaping the gains of the record-breaking investment in the world’s single largest private refinery.
The Speaker wished Dangote well in his endeavour towards making Nigeria a virile economic giant in Africa.
