Power for Tanzania, refinery for Lamu

At State House in Dar es Salaam, Aliko Dangote laid out a project pipeline for Tanzania that goes well beyond the cement plant that has anchored his presence there for years. On the table: a 2,000-megawatt coal-fired power plant, a urea fertiliser complex, new port infrastructure, a special trade zone, a 40-kilometre concrete access road, and an 812-kilometre transport corridor linking Mtwara to Mbamba Bay in the south. It builds on an existing $500 million cement operation in Mtwara producing three million tonnes annually and sits inside a wider Dangote Group commitment to deploy $40 billion across the continent over five years. President Samia responded quickly, directing her ministries to open technical discussions and appointing the Minister of Planning and Investment to coordinate formal negotiations, with a Tanzanian delegation expected in Nigeria in the coming weeks.
