The Federal Government has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the success of the 650,000-barrel-per-day Dangote Refinery, describing it as a critical national asset that must be supported to thrive. Vice President Kashim Shettima made the remarks at the opening of the Nigerian Economic Summit 2025 in Abuja, alongside the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Atiku Bagudu.
The $20 billion refinery, seen as central to Nigeria’s energy and economic stability, has recently faced challenges following industrial action by oil workers under PENGASSAN.
