Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu met with Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote in Dar es Salaam following reports that he is now favouring Kenya for a major oil refinery project. The meeting highlighted Dangote's existing investment in Tanzania through his cement business.

• The proposed refinery in Kenya could be East Africa’s largest, with an estimated cost between Ksh1.95 trillion and Ksh2.21 trillion.
• Key individuals involved are President Samia Suluhu and billionaire Aliko Dangote, founder of Dangote Group.
• Dangote cited Kenya's larger, deeper port infrastructure in Mombasa as a reason for shifting his refinery plans from Tanga, Tanzania.
