Dangote Refinery Contains Minor Fire at its Effluent Treatment Plant. The minor fire that gutted a section of Dangote Refinery at its Effluent Treatment Plant has been contained. It was earlier reported that fire gutted a section of the newly launched 650 million barrels per day Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals in Lagos.

However, according to a statement signed by Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Dangote Group, Anthony Chiejina, the minor fire incident has been contained, with the Refinery currently operating and no recorded injury or body harm to all staff on duty.

Recall that Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote had disclosed that he fought and overcame a strong group of local and foreign mafia before establishing the $19 billion refinery.

Dangote said the mafia in the oil sector, who are stronger than those doing drugs, did everything they could to sabotage the refinery project.

Speaking at the Afreximbank annual meeting and AfriCaribbean Trade and Investment Forum in the Bahamas recently, Dangote said he never anticipated that the resistance would be harsh.

Meanwhile, Anambra South Senator, Ifeanyi Ubah, recently said Danote’s refinery will lead to a reduction in the pump price of petroleum products.

Ubah said when oil refineries in Nigeria start operating at full capacity, the price of fuel will reduce.
