​
  • Tanzania and Kenya are emerging as leading contenders for a proposed multibillion-dollar oil refinery backed by Dangote Group.
  • President Samia Suluhu Hassan held investment talks with Aliko Dangote amid growing regional competition over the project’s location.
  • Kenyan President William Ruto has endorsed Tanzania’s Tanga port, while Dangote reportedly favours Mombasa for its logistics advantages.
  • The refinery and the East African Crude Oil Pipeline could reshape fuel supply, trade and energy security across East AfricThe meeting at Tanzania’s State House comes amid growing regional debate over whether the refinery will be built in Tanga, Tanzania, or Mombasa, Kenya. The project is expected to attract billions of dollars in private investment, although no official figure has yet been disclosed.


Earlier this month, William Ruto told Tanzania’s Parliament in Dodoma that the Port of Tanga was a strong contender for the refinery because of its strategic position and regional trade links. However, he noted that the final decision would rest with investors led by Dangote.

In comments published by the Financial Times on Sunday, May 10, 2026, Dangote reportedly said he was leaning towards Mombasa, citing the Kenyan city’s deep-water port, stronger logistics network and rising regional fuel demand.

The proposed refinery is expected to process crude oil from producers in Uganda and Kenya, as well as imported crude, for distribution across East Africa.

Analysts say the facility could reduce the region’s dependence on imported petroleum products from the Middle East and improve long-term energy security.

The discussions also come as Tanzania and Uganda move closer to completing the East African Crude Oil Pipeline, which stretches from Uganda’s Hoima oil fields to the port of Chongoleani in Tanzania’s Tanga region.

Uganda’s Hoima fields are projected to produce about 230,000 barrels of oil per day once commercial production begins later this year.

Hivi unajua Dar port na boundary zake? Ujinga sio mbaya,ni kutokujua. Ujinga unakutoka ukieleweshwa halafu ukajua. Nakuelewesha SGR inaingia port,nimekutoa ujinga. Ukuendelea kubisha hutakuwa mjinga ila utakuwa mpumbavu.
Wewe ndio mjinga, SGR yenu inaishia kwa yard, haiingi ndani ya port. Kama inafika kwa port penye kuna berths na mizigo tuonyeshe tuone. Najua unajaribu kujustify the yard iko ndani ya compound ya port.

Hivi unatania au uko serious unaposema reli haiingii Dar port?
Njia yangu to and fro asubuhi na jioni napita sehemu kuna Tazara railway inapita juu kuingia port, napita sehemu SGR inapita chini kuingia port na napita sehemu MGR inapita on the ground level inaingia port. Kigamboni interchange,Gerezani bridge, South side of SGR station respectively.
Hao wajinga uwa wanajiropokea tu
