A court declined to halt the groundbreaking ceremony for Aliko Dangote's refinery in Lamu, Kenya. The project, valued at Sh2.2 trillion, faced legal challenges regarding land compensation and environmental concerns. Dangote expressed readiness for further legal action from those seeking to obstruct the refinery's development.
