Popular Nigerian billionaire businessman Femi Otedola has congratulated Aliko Dangote for his refinery. He congratulated him because his refinery is set to begin production as they have received their maiden 1 million barrels of Agbami crude grade. The refinery will commence operation this month, December 2023. While congratulating Dangote, Femi Otedola referred to him as his Bestie (best friend) which was interesting to see. It's not a surprise to see the closeness of the Otedola and Dangote family.

Femi Otedola is a 60 year old businessman. He is married to Nana Otedola and they have 3 children together (Florence, Temi and Fewa). Femi Otedola also has a first daughter from another woman (Tolani). Aliko Dangote is also a famous Nigerian billionaire businessman who has been regarded as one of the richest men in the world. He is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Dangote group.

While congratulating Dangote, Femi Otedola referred to his refinery as the 8th Wonder of the World. He took to his Twitter page to share the post and praise his friend for his achievements and contributions to the Nigerian economy. He revealed that this refinery will serve as a beacon of hope to millions of Nigerians. He then told Dangote that Africa is proud of him and his accomplishments.

In his words "I heartily congratulate my bestie @AlikoDangote as the 8th Wonder of the World – the $20 Billion (Twenty Billion Dollars) @DangoteGroup Refinery – officially commences production. The Dangote Petrochemical Complex, which consists of the world’s largest single-train 650,000 barrels per day Petroleum Refinery, a 1 million metric tonnes of Polypropylene per-annum facility, and two of the world’s largest Fertilizer Trains – with a capacity of producing 3 Million Tonnes of Urea – is much more than just an industrial milestone; it’s a testament to the visionary leadership and relentless pursuit of excellence of one of Africa’s finest and most dogged patriots.
I had a front-row seat as this vision was conceptualized and took shape. And I am familiar with the sleepless nights you’ve had to work through over the last decade to bring this dream to fruition.
This refinery is a beacon of hope for millions of Nigerians and Africans. It is also at the vanguard of championing environmental sustainability. With its Carbon capture technologies and storage processes it will capture up to 90%+ of the CO2 emitted and also play a significant role in reducing Well-to-tank carbon emissions from crude oil maritime transportation, thereby playing its own role in helping Nigeria meet its target for net-zero emissions by 2060
The Refinery recircles 100% of its water. The heat coming out of the process is fully captured to produce 50MW of Power. Dangote is also producing Euro 5 to replace the bad Euro 5 that has been dumped in Africa for a long time. Shipping 65,000 barrels per day of crude out of Nigeria and 650kbpd in refined products to Nigeria and nearby countries which is 480 ships of 1m barrels per day will save 1.5m to 2.5m tons of CO2 emissions. This will help the environment.
By meeting our requirements for all refined petroleum products, it will champion energy security and independence for our nation and act as a catalyst for a new era of prosperity for the subcontinent. It promises economic transformation for Nigerians today and for generations to come.
Congratulations, @AlikoDangote . Africa is proud of you! …F.Ote"
