Dangote apendelea Mombasa kujenga kiwanda cha mafuta

Bilionea wa Nigeria Aliko Dangote ameeleza kupendelea kujenga kiwanda kikubwa cha kusafisha mafuta Mombasa, Kenya, badala ya Tanga, Tanzania. Dangote alitoa maoni haya katika mahojiano na Financial Times yaliyochapishwa Jumapili.

Dangote alisema Mombasa ina bandari kubwa na yenye kina kirefu ikilinganishwa na Tanga. Alibainisha kuwa Wakenya hutumia mafuta zaidi na uchumi wao ni mkubwa.

Gharama ya mradi inakadiriwa kuwa kati ya dola bilioni 15 na 17, sawa na Shilingi trilioni 1.9 hadi 2.2. Dangote alisema uamuzi wa mwisho uko mikononi mwa Rais William Ruto.

Pendekezo la awali la Tanga lilitolewa mwezi uliopita na Rais Ruto wakati wa mkutano wa Afrika We Build Summit. Rais wa Tanzania Samia Suluhu Hassan alisema hakushauriwa kuhusu mpango huo.
