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.”
