Otedola Hails Dangote’s Refinery as a Landmark Achievement for Nigeria
In a heartfelt letter to Aliko Dangote, Nigerian business magnate Femi Otedola extended his congratulations on the first fuel shipment from the Dangote Refinery, a project that has been 25 years in the making.
Otedola praised Dangote for his resilience and determination in transforming Nigeria’s energy landscape despite setbacks.
Otedola recalled their initial joint effort in the Blue Star Consortium to acquire stakes in the Kaduna and Port Harcourt refineries.
However, their vision was thwarted when the government canceled the agreement. While the Kaduna and Port Harcourt refineries have since struggled, Otedola noted that Dangote’s refinery has emerged as a game-changer.
In his message, Otedola emphasised how Dangote’s achievement has freed Nigeria from its long-standing dependence on foreign fuel imports, highlighting how this refinery marks the end of economic reliance on foreign powers and local fuel cartels that have historically exploited the nation.
The business leader also likened Dangote’s success to his earlier transformation of the Nigerian cement industry, predicting that fuel imports will soon follow the same fate as now-defunct cement imports. He advised depot owners to adapt quickly or face obsolescence.
Otedola expressed his deepest admiration for Dangote’s unwavering vision and determination, offering warm congratulations to the entire team behind the Dangote Refinery, and hailing it as a victory for every Nigerian who dares to dream of a brighter future.
This letter comes as a resounding endorsement of the Dangote Refinery’s contribution to Nigeria’s self-sufficiency in energy production, ushering in a new era for the country.
