This is a really important visit, and the photos clearly show the scale of the Dangote Refinery. It's good to see the President engaging directly with such a critical national asset.
Like 'stophy' mentioned, the fact that a refinery of this magnitude is finally up and running in Lagos is a huge deal for Nigeria. The hope is that this will genuinely ease our fuel issues and boost the economy significantly.
Now, the real work begins on ensuring it operates optimally and its benefits are felt by everyday Nigerians.
Congrats again to Aliko Dangote on this monumental achievement!

Power of the vision of Asiwaju Tinubu that a refinery will once be built in our Lagos city.
Every Dangote out there needs a destiny helper like Asiwaju Tinubu, GCFR.

Tinubu NNPCL and Dangote should work together to end importation of fuel by being able to sell fuel very cheap for Nigerians, use capacity.
Stop using style to remind us that ebilokan is a cluelessly corrupt man who is incapable of doing anything he says.
Two years after hitting the ground running, the korofo chochocho balablu wailer has failed to crash petrol price below what it cost us in January 2023!

Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.
In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.
However, pump price of fuel hit N537 per litre days after Tinubu ended subsidy.
On Tuesday, the price climbed further to N617, a development that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) attributed to “market forces”.
Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.
Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video ed on the YouTube page of Channels Television.
At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.
However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.
“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.
King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, a Fuji musician who performed at the rally, interrupted the president’s speech with chants as the crowd cheered.
On the campaign podium with the president were Vice-President Kashim Shettima; Pa Bisi Akande, interim National Chairman of the APC; Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President; Senator Gbenga Daniel; among other bigwigs of the ruling party.
Tinubu went further to say Nigerians would defy the acute fuel scarcity at the time and trek to cast their votes.
“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200/N500 per litre. Go and relax, we will crash the prices,” he had said.

The people still importing petrol are the corrupt petroleum dealers who insist they must import in other to bring back subsidy. With local production and self sufficiency, subsidy is buried for over. Thats what they don’t want.

Is BUA refinery being built in Lagos also?
Kundus to Jonathan for licensing Dangote refinery as part of the deregulation of the oil downstream sector, which APC played politics with, in order to make the president from the south a one term president in favour of a clueless northerner.

A former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, on Tuesday, said the protest that trailed the fuel subsidy removal during the istration of President Goodluck Jonathan in 2012 was due to political interests.
Fayemi said this in his keynote address delivered at a national dialogue organised to celebrate the 60th birthday celebration of the founding National Secretary of Alliance for Democracy and Fellow, Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, Professor Udenta Udenta in Abuja.
The programme was attended by Jonathan, former Minister of Education, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili; former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, among others.
The PUNCH reports that on January 1, 2012, President Goodluck announced the removal of fuel subsidy and adjusted the pump price of petrol from N65 per litre to N141.
The decision sparked mass protests, tagged ‘Occupy Nigeria’ across major cities of the country.
The price was later re-adjusted to N97, after more than a week of protests.
Petrol price was later reduced to N87 in 2015.
Jonathan faced serious backlash for the fuel price adjustment, especially from leaders of the All Progressives Congress, who were then in different opposition parties, including the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, Congress for Progressives Congress, All Nigeria Peoples Party, and All Progressive Grand Alliance.
While condemning what he described as the “winners take all” style of Nigeria’s democracy, Fayemi said the challenges facing the nation today cannot be solved unless the country embraced proportional representation, where the spoils of elections are shared between contestants.
According to him, the last time Nigeria experienced economic development was during Jonathan’s istration

Yet the bitter people want to compare the hero beer founder to him. All his initiative are visible to see. Only a stupid father will allow himself to be better than his children. After his tenure as governor, he ended up bringing superb and excellent successors. The packaged fraud should wait to contest for Biafra republic when they achieved it.
Babangidapikin:
Oga Samad taking the Presentation seriously , the President should just concession the Warri Refinery to Messr Dangote and Port Harcourt to Messr OandO .. Save us Turn Around Maintaince cost .
No cos our people were decieved by enemies of the country when Obasanjo sold 50% of it to Dangote and Otedola back by condemning the sales and they said they have the financial and technical know out to turn around the refineries. Many years down the line, no Niger delta was able to buy as promised then. The so called leaders led by the late Edwin Clark couldn't find Niger delta indigene to buy and fix it. Dangote and co should not go there at all.
