“Today 15 February 2026, I visited the Dangote Refinery, what I call the 8th wonder of the world,” he wrote.
Otedola further revealed that the full completion of the expansion project would significantly boost the refinery’s production capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day.
“After successful completion of this expansion project, capacity will increase to 1.4m barrels per day … F.Ote 💲,” he added.
