Africa’s richest person, Aliko Dangote, has applied to begin work on a seaport near his fertiliser and oil refinery plants to make it easier to export goods, including liquefied natural gas, Bloomberg News reported yesterday.
The proposed Atlantic seaport in Olokola, Ogun state, will link the conglomerate’s logistics and export operations and rival facilities in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital, it stated.
Dangote plans to export liquefied gas from Lagos, a project that will involve constructing pipelines from Nigeria’s oil-rich Niger Delta, according to Devakumar Edwin, Vice President of the group.
