At the Africa We Build Summit in Nairobi on April 23, 2026, Kenya's President William Ruto announced a historic joint oil refinery project in Tanga, Tanzania, involving Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. The initiative leverages the existing East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP), which runs 1,443 km from Hoima, Uganda to Tanga, Tanzania, making the location strategically optimal for processing crude oil from the region.

Three Nations Just Made a Historic Move #Breaking #AfricaAdded:
on April 23rd, 2026 at the Africa We Build Summit in Nairobi, Kenya.
President William Ruto, Uganda's Yoweri Museveni, and Aliko [clears throat] Dangote are in the room, and Ruto makes a bombshell announcement. East Africa is getting a joint refinery, and it will be in Tanga, Tanzania.
Ruto's words were clear. He said three countries, Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania had agreed to pull their resources for this massive facility. The reasoning, the existing East African crude oil pipeline, popularly known as EACOP, already runs 1,443 km from Hoima, in Uganda, and terminates at Tanga.
So, the crude oil infrastructure, he argued, was already pointing there.
