    Our attention has been drawn to some misleading reports regarding the commissioning of our Dangote Refinery during the present working visit of President Muhammadu Buhari  GCFR  to Lagos State. We want to state categorically that our 650,000 barrels per day (bpd) Refinery project was never part of the President’s programme on projects to be commissioned. For the record, the projects slated for commissioning in Lagos State by President Muhammadu Buhari  GCFR  include: Lekki Deep Sea Port; 32-Metric Tonnes Lagos Rice Mill, Imota; 18.75km Eleko to Epe T Junction Express road; John Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture and History, Onikan, Blue Line Rail (Phase 1) commissioning (Marina to Mile 2); Groundbreaking for the Blue Line Rail Phase 2 (Mile 2 to Okokomaiko), and MRS Lubricant, a private project in Apapa. However, our Refinery will be commissioned before President Muhammadu Buhari  GCFR  formally leaves office in May, 2023, and the public will be duly informed and invited to the epic

  The president of Cameroon, Paul Biya has been in the news for some days following the unpleasant scene he created at the US-Africa leaders’ summit. Paul Biya who is hardly seen in public surprised many at the summit when he started behaving strangely; He was led to the podium to deliver a speech but forgot about the place he was. He was heard asking his aide that led him to the podium about where he was. He clearly had no clue about where he was at that time and kept on staring at the speech written for him while passing gas in an unpleasant manner in the presence of leaders around the world. While this is quite unfortunate, it is the fulfilment of Primate Ayodele’s warning which he gave in 2022 regarding the Cameroonian president. Primate Ayodele in a viral video uploaded on his tiktok account advised the president to step down because he will be incapacitated. The man of God categorically mentioned that the president’s trouble will start from dementia into other life threatening il
