Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals Chairman, Aliko Dangote, dismissed the court's halt on the $17 billion East African refinery project in Lamu County, Kenya. Speaking at a high-level investor engagement for the Dangote refinery IPO at the Nairobi Securities Exchange, Dangote declared, "We don’t care; we are ready for them."
The Malindi Environment and Land Court ordered construction suspension due to opposition from farmers and residents of Chandavai, who claimed "forceful eviction" and property damage. Despite the setback, Dangote acknowledged the challenges faced by similar projects in Africa, stating that this was a minor issue compared to the obstacles encountered in Senegal. He assured that the culprits behind the court order would face repercussions.
