Nigerian businessman Aliko Dangote broke ground on a $16 billion refinery complex in Lamu County, Kenya, last Wednesday. The project, which did not exist as an idea six months ago, is expected to process about 700,000 barrels of crude per day, generate 1,000 megawatts of power, and produce a million tonnes of polypropylene annually. During construction, it is projected to employ some 60,000 people. At the event, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni delivered a notable speech, referring to himself with Marxist jargon.
