Who acquired a 25% stake in Kenya Pipeline Company, and where was this announcement made?

Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote announced that his company had acquired a 25% stake in Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC.NR) at the Financial Times Africa Summit in London.

What is the strategic context of Dangote's investment in Kenya's pipeline network?

Dangote's acquisition of the 25% stake aligns with his broader energy infrastructure push in Kenya, including his recently launched 700,000-barrel-per-day oil refinery project at Lamu port — a move that complements his existing refinery near Lagos and expands his integrated petroleum logistics footprint across Africa.
