Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan met Aliko Dangote at the State House in Dar es Salaam on Saturday, May 16, in a conversation her government framed as a discussion of the billionaire's existing investments in the country, but which arrived at a diplomatically awkward moment: six days after Dangote told the Financial Times he was leaning toward Mombasa, Kenya, rather than Tanga, Tanzania, for his proposed $15 billion to $17 billion East African refinery.
