Aliko Dangote, the President of Dangote Group, opened up about the challenges he encountered during the refinery project, confessing that there were moments when he contemplated giving up.


During the momentous commissioning of the refinery project in Lagos, Aliko Dangote took the opportunity to unveil the influential figures whose words and actions provided him with profound encouragement, leading to the transformation of his vision into a tangible reality. As a result, the world now witnesses the existence of the largest single-train refinery ever established.


Dangote unveiled that his aspiration to venture into the petroleum sector ignited two decades ago, and thanks to the collective support from various parties and individuals, his visionary refinery project has transformed into a tangible reality.


Notably, Dangote specifically highlighted President Muhammadu Buhari as a remarkable source of inspiration and fortitude. He acknowledged that Buhari's unwavering confidence and comforting words served as a constant source of motivation during challenging times.


"Esteemed guests and Mr. President, the path leading to this momentous occasion was a lengthy and demanding one. It would have remained a distant dream without the invaluable support and collaborative efforts of numerous stakeholders and individuals."


Therefore, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation to all the distinguished guests and esteemed Excellencies present here today, as I humbly acknowledge and recognize their significant presence.


Allow me to begin by addressing Your Excellency, President Buhari. Your unwavering support and encouragement throughout the past eight years have served as an immense source of personal motivation and resilience. During moments when I contemplated surrendering, your unwavering confidence and assuring words made all the difference. I express my heartfelt gratitude to you, Mr. President, for your invaluable support.


Dangote also expressed deep appreciation for the successive Lagos State administrations, commencing with the tenure of President-elect Bola Tinubu, who governed Lagos from 1999 to 2007, up to the present incumbent Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

In his own words, Dangote stated, "Those of us who have chosen Lagos as our home can attest to the fact that the Lagos State government, since the advent of the current democratic era, has exhibited an exceptional level of dedication and support for the private sector."


Starting from the tenure of President-elect H.E. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who spearheaded the establishment of the Lekki Free Zone, to the present governor, H.E. Babajide Sanwolu, who has exhibited proactive measures in ensuring the successful realization of this project, the state government has consistently showcased a strong commitment to fostering an investment-friendly climate. This unwavering commitment has enabled our group to invest a substantial sum of over $30 billion across various industries in the state's economy throughout this period.


We extend our heartfelt gratitude and profound appreciation to the Lagos State government and its successive governors for their unwavering dedication in fostering an enabling business environment.
