@energy_african has named Aliko Dangote its 2026 African Energy Person of the Year, recognizing his investments in refining, energy infrastructure and industrial development.

DANGOTE FIRST BUILT A CONSTRUCTION COMPANY TO BUILD DANGOTE REFINERY - Not many Nigerians know that Dangote has to first build a full-scale construction company, before he built the refinery?
Yes, you read that right.
Dangote literally built a full scale construction company to construct the refinery.
If that's not just business brilliance, what else is.
Now let me explain the brilliance in Dangote's move.
When Aliko Dangote announced his plan to build Africaโs largest oil refinery, many assumed he would contract foreign construction giants, the usual suspects from China, France, or the U.S.
But if you understand how this man thinks, youโll know he doesnโt outsource destiny.
He knew something most entrepreneurs never grasp:
"You canโt build world-class infrastructure in Nigeria without first building the infrastructure to build it."
So what did he do?
He built the foundation before the refinery.
He established Dangote Projects Limited, a fully equipped construction company under the Dangote Industries umbrella, designed to handle everything from civil works to mechanical installations.
But it didnโt stop there.
To build that refinery, he had to first build the world around it.
Because in Nigeria, the challenge is never just the project, itโs the infrastructure that supports the project.
There were no roads strong enough to carry refinery equipment.
There was no consistent power supply to sustain construction.
The ports couldnโt handle the massive cargo.
So Dangote did what great industrialists do, he built everything he needed himself.
He built a 435-megawatt power plant to generate electricity for the refinery, fertilizer plant, and even parts of the surrounding communities.
He built internal roads, bridges, and a deep-sea port (the Lekki Port Access Jetty) to bring in heavy equipment.
He trained over 30,000 Nigerian engineers, welders, and technicians, turning skill scarcity into a local advantage.
He imported and owned over 2,000 heavy-duty construction machines, ensuring no delay from third-party contractors.
Thatโs not a businessman, thatโs an industrial architect.
Dangote understood that to build a project of this magnitude in Nigeria, you must first control your ecosystem, from power to logistics to construction.

Today at Nakasero, I met Mr. Aliko Dangote and we discussed the proposed East African regional refinery.
I informed him that from the very beginning, we have always opposed the export of raw materials without value addition. That is why Uganda delayed oil production because we insisted on first having a refinery. Without refining our oil, it would not make economic or strategic sense to simply export crude oil while others benefit from the finished products.
I, therefore, welcomed the idea of a bigger regional refinery because our objective is African integration and shared prosperity. We cannot continue operating as fragmented and weak markets. If East Africa works together, such projects become more viable and beneficial to our people.
Uganda is ready to support the regional refinery initiative while also continuing with the development of our own refinery in Hoima.
