Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote and Kenyan President William Ruto led the groundbreaking ceremony for the Dangote East Africa Oil Refinery in Lamu.

The refinery is expected to create tens of thousands of jobs and support related industries. However, it faces legal challenges from local residents over land rights.
