Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun dismisses allegations that he played a role in moving the Dangote Refinery from Ogun to Lagos, saying the decision was made before he took office. He presents his position as a clarification of his administration’s record and rejects claims linking him to the refinery’s relocation.
In a separate but related statement, Abiodun reiterates that his government remains committed to the proposed Ogun Deep Sea Port project in Ogun Waterside Local Government Area. The governor’s comments address public debate about industrial and infrastructure plans connected to the wider refining and port ecosystem, while also responding to concerns raised by critics over responsibility for changes to the refinery’s location.
Across the reports, the central points are Abiodun’s denial of involvement in the refinery move and his reaffirmation of support for the Deep Sea Port initiative in Ogun State. Neither source provides new documentary evidence or details on the specific decision-making timeline beyond the governor’s assertion that it preceded his tenure.
