According to Reports, Godwin Emefiele The Central Bank Governor of Nigeria (CBN), has said Dangote Refinery will employ over 70,000 Nigerians when it begins operation.
He said the various policies of the Federal Government will ultimately reduce unemployment in the country.
The apex bank’s governor, who addressed reporters after touring the refinery at the weekend, said the Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical plant is expected to increase its workforce from the current 34,000 to over 70,000 when it becomes operational.
Also, President of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote said he is on a mission to aggressively reduce the unemployment in the country.
He said the plant would also retain foreign exchange as Nigeria becomes self-sufficient in petroleum refining.
“Besides, we are going to help in terms of not only creating jobs but also in reducing the outflow of foreign exchange, not only in petroleum products but also in petrochemicals and in fertilisers. We would be one of the highest foreign exchange generating companies, going forward,” Dangote said.
