President Bola Tinubu has lauded the Dangote Refinery, describing it as a monumental investment and a model project.

The President made the remarks during a visit to the refinery in Lagos on Thursday.

In a statement released by the State House, Tinubu commended Aliko Dangote for spearheading the initiative, calling the project a significant benchmark for development.

While on the visit, the President also inaugurated the access road leading to the Lekki Deep Sea Port. He praised Dangote Industries Limited and the construction firm involved for delivering high-quality work.

Tinubu expressed personal satisfaction over the success of the Deep Sea Port, which he noted was conceptualized during his tenure as Governor of Lagos State. He highlighted the port’s benefits, particularly its role in helping users cut costs by eliminating the need for trans-shipment of goods.

"I acknowledge the excellent work done on the access road by Dangote Industries Limited through our Tax Credit Road Programme and their subcontractor, Hitech Construction Company Limited," Tinubu said.

In response, Aliko Dangote, President of the Dangote Group, thanked President Tinubu for his vision and leadership in initiating the Lekki Deep Sea Port project. He reaffirmed the private sector’s commitment to supporting the government in driving nationwide infrastructure development.
