WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Billionaire business mogul Femi Otedola has praised his friend and business partner, Aliko Dangote, for the successful launch of his 650,000-barrel-per-day refinery. Otedola congratulated Dangote on social media, calling the achievement “miraculous” and a testament to Dangote’s unwavering dedication to transforming Nigeria’s energy landscape. Otedola reminisced about their 25-year-old vision to acquire stakes in the Kaduna and Port Harcourt refineries, which was thwarted by the government. He commended Dangote for refusing to give up on their shared dream, despite the setback. The refinery’s launch, Otedola said, marks the end of Nigeria’s economic dependence on foreign powers for fuel needs. He also noted that Dangote has dealt a significant blow to “local cabals” who profited from the nation’s economic dependence. Otedola drew parallels with Dangote’s revolutionization of the cement industry in Nigeria, predicting a similar transformation in the fuel sector. He advised depot owners to adapt to the changing landscape, as the refinery will render fuel imports obsolete. Finally, Otedola expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for his support in realizing this “monumental project.”
