D & # 39; here in mid-2020, when the company is operating at full capacity, it will process 650,000 barrels of oil a day, said the executive director of Dangote Industries Ltd. Edwin Devakumar
It is always difficult for people to believe that we can do everything on time and in the budget. But I think we can. Projects of this magnitude have so far been few. It's huge,
