"For Ethiopia, the project carries significance beyond Kenya’s energy sector. Lamu forms part of the wider LAPSSET corridor, linking Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast with regional markets and strengthening a key trade and infrastructure route connecting Kenya with Ethiopia and South Sudan." - Ethiopian Embassy London. #LAPSSET #Kenya #Ethiopia #SouthSudan #Dangote #CorridorOfOpportunity #Globaltrade
𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 @AbiyAhmedAli 𝗔𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗞𝗲𝗻𝘆𝗮 𝗮𝘀 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮’𝘀 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed arrived in Kenya today for the groundbreaking of Dangote’s planned $16 billion Lamu refinery, a major energy project with a planned capacity of 700,000 barrels per day. The refinery is expected to serve petroleum markets across East Africa and begin operations by 2030. For Ethiopia, the project carries significance beyond Kenya’s energy sector. Lamu forms part of the wider LAPSSET corridor, linking Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast with regional markets and strengthening a key trade and infrastructure route connecting Kenya with Ethiopia and South Sudan. The development also comes shortly after Ethiopia announced a $660 million partnership with Djibouti and the Dangote Group to develop a refined petroleum pipeline from Damerjog in Djibouti to Dewele in Ethiopia, alongside major fuel storage facilities. The project is aimed at improving fuel supply, reducing logistics costs and strengthening the Ethiopia-Djibouti corridor. Together, these developments highlight Ethiopia’s expanding energy and infrastructure cooperation with its neighbours. From Djibouti to Kenya’s Indian Ocean gateway, Ethiopia is becoming increasingly connected to a wider regional network that could strengthen trade, energy security and economic integration across East Africa. #Ethiopia #AbiyAhmed #LamuRefinery #LAPSSET #Djibouti #EastAfrica #EnergySecurity @AmbBirukUK @PMEthiopia @MFAEthiopia @UKinEthiopia

Today, Lamu takes centre stage as we witness the groundbreaking of the East Africa Oil Refinery at #LamuPort Industrial Park—a landmark investment in Kenya’s industrial and energy transformation. Located within the #LAPSSETCorridor, the refinery will strengthen the region’s energy, trade, logistics and industrial links, connecting Kenya and East Africa to global markets. With a planned capacity of 700,000 barrels per day, the project is expected to boost energy security, reduce reliance on imported refined petroleum products, and support industries such as petrochemicals, fertiliser and manufacturing. It will also create jobs, support local businesses, expand maritime activities and attract further investment along the #LAPSSETCorridor . #Corridorofopportunity #Africaninfrastructure #Globaltrade #LapssetforBusiness #Dangote #DangoteRefinery

Infrastructure is an investment in economic growth. Government investment in #LAPSSET, a strategic infrastructure in Eastern Africa, is promoting Trade and investments that are contributing to high economic growth. As His Excellency Dr. William S.
