Aliko Dangote has put a number on the next chapter of his refinery story. Africa's richest man told an audience in Lagos on Saturday that scaling the Dangote Petroleum Refinery from 650,000 barrels a day to 1.4 million will pull in roughly 95,000 skilled workers at peak construction, the kind of build that reshapes the country's labor market for engineers, technicians and tradespeople in one stroke.
