Tanzanian Government & Dangote Group Plan to Implement $17 Bln Refinery Project: Statement
Key outcomes from the talks between President Samia Suluhu Hassan and Alhaji Dangote, Chairman and CEO of Dangote Group, which were held on Saturday in Dar es Salaam:
Regional benefits: The project aims to benefit East African countries with opportunities for regional participation through share ownership, the group CEO said.
Self-sufficiency: The initiative will ensure Africa's oil/petroleum self-sufficiency, reduce external dependence, and protect against price fluctuations and supply disruptions, Dangote noted.
Fertilizer investment: President Samia invited Dangote Group to invest in fertilizer production, as domestic demand greatly exceeds local capacity, the Tanzanian presidency stated.
