NEPZA Congratulates Dangote As Buhari Gets Set To Commission Dangote Refinery

The Managing Director of Nigerian Export Processing Zones Authority (NEPZA) Prof. Adesoji Adesugba,  has ascribed the huge investment in the Dangote Refinery, one of Nigeria’s flagship free trade zones, to the unrivaled patriotic posture of the African richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote.

Adesugba made this remark while congratulating Dangote yesterday in Abuja on the completion of the refinery set to be commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari tomorrow.

In a statement by the head corporate communications, NEPZA, Martins Odeh, the NEPZA boss said the multi-billion-dollar investment was a further testament on the extent the Nigerian billionaire investor could go to contribute its quota to solving the country’s energy challenge.

Adesugba said the Dangote Free Zone with diligent supervision of NEPZA successfully bequeathed the country with an enviable global energy infrastructure.

He, therefore, urged local investors to emulate Dangote by exploring the free trade scheme as a result of its cost-effectiveness and in helping to contribute to the country’s industrialisation process.

“On behalf of myself, management and staff of the authority, I congratulate Alhaji Aliko Dangote and the entire management and staff of the Dangote Free Trade Zone for the completion and commissioning of the Dangote Refinery,” he said.
