A minor fire incident occurred at the effluent treatment plant of the Dangote Refinery in Lagos on Wednesday.
Firefighters and first responders swiftly extinguished the fire, which caused a thick plume of smoke visible from the facility located at the Lekki Free Zone near Lagos.
In a statement, company spokesman Anthony Chiejina confirmed that operations at the refinery were unaffected. “There is no cause for alarm as the refinery is operating normally, and there were no injuries reported among our staff,” he assured.
The $20 billion facility, owned by billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote and situated in Lagos, commenced operations last December with a capacity of 350,000 barrels per day. The refinery aims to reach its full capacity of 650,000 barrels per day by year
