Dangote to build $8bn oil refinery in Nigeria

Alhaji Aliko Dangote

Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, plans to invest up to $8bn to build a Nigerian oil refinery with a capacity of around 400,000 barrels a day by late 2016, the tycoon told Reuters on Tuesday.

This will almost double Nigeria’s current refining capacity.

“This will really help not only Nigeria but sub-Saharan Africa. There has not been a new refinery for a long time in sub-Saharan Africa,” Dangote said in a telephone interview.

Preparing for UTME in tears

In 15 days, registration for the 2013 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will close, but many candidates may miss the examination coming up between April 15 and 27 due to no fault of theirs. Registering for the examination has been hectic. Where they were able to register, they did not get centres of their choice, they were sent to far-flung places to write the examination.

The unavailability of centres for the Paper and Pencil Tests (PPT) option in almost all the states has thrown up a fresh challenge in the registration for the examination. All eyes are on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to see how it will resolve the debacle which is giving many candidates and their parents sleepless.

Emotional farewell as Pope Benedict retires

Pope Benedict XVI will retire today – the first Pope to abdicate since Gregory XII in 1415.
Yesterday, thousands of pilgrims gathered at St Peter’s Square in the Vatican for Pope Benedict’s final general audience. He admitted he faced “choppy waters” during his eight years at the helm of the Roman Catholic Church, but said he was guided by God and felt His presence every day.
The successor to Pope Benedict, 85, will be chosen in a conclave to take place next month.
