President William Ruto met with Dangote Industries President and CEO Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) CEO Samaila Zubairu on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York to finalise financing and operational preparations for the East Africa Refinery in Lamu.
“We are ready to break ground on this transformative project,” President Ruto said. “The refinery will enhance regional energy security, deepen local value addition, drive job creation, and advance our industrialisation agenda.”
Designed to unlock economic growth and strengthen regional supply chains, the landmark development is set to position East Africa as a competitive energy and industrial hub.
