Kenyan President William Ruto is set to visit the Dangote Petroleum Refinery in Lagos, Nigeria, on Friday in advance of the September 30 groundbreaking ceremony for a new 700,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Lamu, Kenya. The visit was confirmed by the Dangote Group, with Aliko Dangote himself to welcome President Ruto at the Lekki facility.
The two leaders are working to finalize preparations for the multi-billion dollar project, aiming to boost refining capacity and bolster petroleum supply in East Africa. Following discussions with Dangote and the CEO of the Africa Finance Corporation at the recent UN General Assembly, Kenya is now poised to break ground on the Lamu refinery, a key step in increasing domestic refining capacity and reducing dependence on imported petroleum.
