Tanzanian Leader Rebukes Kenya’s Ruto Over Planned Refinery

Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan said she wasn’t consulted over a plan to establish a 650,000 barrels-a-day refinery in her nation, with the plant jointly owned by East African countries and Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote.

The proposal was announced two weeks ago at an infrastructure summit in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, after talks between Dangote, Kenyan President William Ruto and his Ugandan counterpart, Yoweri Museveni. Hassan didn’t attend the conference.
