Kenyan President William Ruto recently visited the Dangote Petroleum Refinery in Lagos, Nigeria, prior to the groundbreaking ceremony for a new refinery in Lamu, Kenya. The Nigerian facility has a refining capacity of 700,000 barrels of crude oil daily, producing over 100 million liters of fuel daily. The Kenyan refinery, set to begin construction next week and launch in September 2026, will be larger and transform Kenya's petroleum sector.
Ruto stated that the new refinery would boost the country's industrialization, create 60,000 jobs, and stimulate the growth of other sectors such as fertiliser, chemical, and packaging production.
