The first batch of 50 trainees for the Dangote sponsored refinery operations training will depart Nigeria for India today.
The 50 are part of 800 Nigerians the president of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, is sending to India, to learn the operations of a petrochemical refinery.
The 800 Nigerians, it was gathered, are to be trained in batches of 50, over the next 24 months in the Asian country which has the largest refinery in the world.
The world’s largest refinery, Jamnagar Refinery Reliance Industries, Jamnagar, is located in India. Jamnagar refines as much as 1.2 million barrels per day.
The initiative, LEADERSHIP Sunday gathered, is in a bid to create employment within the Nigerian economy, rather than importing expatriates to run the first private refinery in Nigeria.
Dangote is set to build the first private refinery in Nigeria. The refinery, which worth has been estimated at $9 billion, is projected to have a refining capacity of about 500,000 to 650,000 barrels per day.
“After receiving a private licence to build a refinery, Dangote has commenced the building of a 650,000 barrel per day (BPD) petroleum refinery, which will be the single largest in the world.
“The refinery would have a larger capacity than all of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) refineries put together,” the conglomerate said in an earlier statement.
The refinery, according to Dangote, would be ready to meet the nation’s need by 2018.
