"By meeting our requirements for all refined petroleum products, it will champion energy security and independence for our nation and act as a catalyst for a new era of prosperity for the subcontinent. It promises economic transformation for Nigerians today and for generations to come," Otedola declared.
The refinery, reputedly the largest in Africa, has commenced operations with a capacity to process 350,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
In a recent milestone, the Dangote Refinery received its first one million barrels of Agbami crude grade, signifying the commencement of the refinery's operations. This delivery is part of the larger plan to supply six million barrels to the facility from various sources.
Femi Otedola, extending his congratulations to his "bestie" Aliko Dangote, lauded the visionary leadership behind the refinery.
Describing Dangote as a "visionary patriot," Otedola highlighted the refinery's multifaceted significance.

"This refinery is a beacon of hope for millions of Nigerians and Africans. It is also at the vanguard of championing environmental sustainability," Otedola added.
