With the completion of a landfall point at the site of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemical firm, the conglomerate says it is ready to decongest Nigerian roads of petroleum products-laden trucks. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports the minister, who led a team of journalists on the tour, was also conducted around the newly inaugurated Dangote Fertiliser Plant, Africa’s largest granulated urea fertiliser complex. Edwin said the landfall point dredged in the Atlantic Ocean would allow ships loading crude oil to the refinery to berth and discharge for production. Edwin said it would curtail the outdated and risky method of transporting petroleum products by tankers on roads to long distances. He thanked the management of Dangote Group for their patriotism in locating the refinery and fertiliser plant in the country.
