Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote and Kenya's President William Ruto are set to break ground on a $16bn oil refinery in Lamu, marking East Africa's largest industrial project by capacity. Construction is due to begin on 1 November, with completion targeted for 2030.
A Historic Investment for East Africa
The Lamu refinery is Kenya's largest infrastructure project since independence, surpassing the $5.1bn Standard Gauge Railway. East Africa does not currently have any oil refineries, making this a landmark development for the region.
At the height of construction, Dangote said the refinery would create 60,000 jobs, with benefits extending beyond those directly employed by the project. He dismissed concerns about automation, stating, 'Are we going to bring robots? Of course, the people will benefit.'
Protests and Dismissal of Compensation Claims
Ahead of the launch, some local residents took to the streets to demand more compensation for land used for the refinery. Dangote dismissed the protests as games played by local marketers and international players, insisting the refinery would go ahead as planned.
He questioned the validity of the demonstrations, asking, 'To come and say some people are demonstrating, demonstrating about what? Have you ever seen people demonstrating against themselves in terms of development?'
Power Plant and Broader Industrial Vision
The refinery will also include a 1,000-megawatt power plant, designed to support Dangote's operations as well as other industries expected to set up in the area. Dangote sees reliable electricity as a critical constraint on industrialisation across Africa.
He has about $50bn worth of projects in the pipeline, including plans to develop 10,000 megawatts of power generation capacity across Africa by 2030. In Lamu, he noted, 'The power is there and what you do is what we call plug and play.'
