Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has praised the Dangote Refinery for demonstrating Africa's ability to undertake major projects on a massive scale. During the Lagos-New York 2026 Learning Journey at the refinery in Lekki, Sanwo-Olu recounted the refinery's location being once open water a decade ago and emphasized how the city of Lagos builds from the ground up, even when conditions are not ideal.
He highlighted the refinery's production capacity of 650,000 barrels per day, stating that it proves Africa's capability to execute projects at a massive scale. Sanwo-Olu expressed gratitude towards Aliko Dangote and the institutions involved in the development of the refinery, and emphasized that scale is a daily reality for Lagos, a city that faces numerous challenges characteristic of Africa's future.
He urged young global leaders to transform these discussions into tangible partnerships, asserting that Africa is not waiting for permission to build and is already taking steps forward.
