The governor of Ogun state has revealed that Ogun state will house an oil refinery in Tongeji Island of Ipokia local Government Area.
Abiodun revealed this on his official Twitter account on Wednesday when he received Directors of Gasoline Integrated International, the company with whom the partnership is to be carried out.
The governor also added that the refinery will produce 400,000-litre-per-day of petroleum products.
“Ogun State will in the nearest time be host to a three billion dollars oil refinery, to be located in Tongeji Island of Ipokia LGA.”
“A result of our PPP with Gasoline Integrated International, the phased 400,000-litre-per-day refinery project will serve our people’s local petroleum needs, provide over 10,000 direct & indirect jobs, boost the state’s IGR, as well as improve infrastructure & technology.”
“I remarked with joy when I received the company directors led by the Chairman, Dr Lukman Bolaji today, that while this is God’s compensation to us for losing a similar project to another state before our Administration, it is also a result of our stable investment drive set on the heels of easing business conduct across the Gateway State.”
