Mr Tshabalala said that the bank intended to play a leading role in the refinery’s planned Initial Public Offering (IPO) and future expansion projects.
“The refinery is more than a national landmark; it is reducing foreign exchange outflows,” said the official.
Mr Dangote also announced plans to list the Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical Complex on the Nigerian Exchange Ltd. within the next year.
The Nigeria Labour Congress has urged Dangote Industries Ltd. to allow its employees to join workers’ unions to ensure the protection of their rights.
The state government says holds 100 per cent of its shareholding in trust for its people.
