"When I travel around Africa and meet and engage my brother Heads of State... I often sense a quiet expectation that our country is blessed with resources and human capacity to lead Africa's rise to economic prosperity and the attainment of Agenda 2063 — 'The Africa we all want'," Buhari was quoted by Vanguard as saying.

But to achieve the goals of Agenda 2063, Africa must come together — we must integrate our economies, eliminate barriers to trade and energize our youthful population to scale up our productive capacity," he added while congratulating Nigerian entrepreneur Aliko Dangote for his efforts in the construction of the refinery.

"Our products slate is designed to meet the highest quality standards and high-value products ... that will enable us not only meet our country's demand but also to become a key player in the African and global market," Dangote was quoted by Vanguard as saying, adding that the refinery is Africa's largest refining factory with a capacity of 650,000 barrels per day.
