I asked Aliko Dangote about the funding architecture for the East Africa Refinery: · Is the plan still a 70:30 debt-to-equity split? · There have been expressions of interest for co-investing, including from Kenya's National Infrastructure Fund. How much has been crowded in so far? Dangote says: · The governments of Kenya, Uganda & Rwanda have made solid commitments to co-invest · As of now, the 30.0% equity interest is "almost done". The 30.0%, if anything, is "too small" as a portion for equity · The plan is to have the East Africa Refinery listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange post-stabilisation · He says East African economies producing oil will receive priority offtake as far as sourcing crude is concerned. Capacity will then be augmented from other sources like the UAE Link to full discussion with Dangote - youtube.com/watch?v=7TMPOu_g…
