Dangote Snubs Tanzania, Hands Kenya a $17 Billion Refinery

What if East Africa's biggest energy project changed countries before construction even began? Africa's richest businessman, Aliko Dangote, is planning a massive $17 billion oil refinery in Lamu, Kenya—a project that could transform East Africa's energy landscape. But reports indicate the refinery was initially linked to Tanzania before Kenya emerged as the preferred location. In this documentary, we examine what is publicly known about the proposed refinery, why Kenya became the focus, the strategic importance of Lamu Port and the LAPSSET Corridor, and the opportunities and challenges that could determine whether this ambitious project succeeds. Could Kenya become East Africa's fuel refining hub, or will this become another delayed megaproject?
