Ruto hastens process as Dangote vows bigger Kenyan refinery

Kenyan President William Ruto announced that his government is expediting paperwork for the planned Dangote refinery in Lamu, Kenya. Dangote revealed that the refinery planned for Kenya will surpass the size of the existing Nigerian plant. Ruto toured the Dangote Petroleum Refinery in Lagos on Friday before the groundbreaking ceremony for the 700,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Lamu on September 30.

He emphasized that Kenya's government is fully supportive of the project and has secured the necessary land. Dangote also discussed plans for a larger industrial complex, including a 1,000-megawatt power plant, and the inclusion of a polypropylene plant, with facilities not present at the Lagos plant.
