Establishment of a refinery requires ample land space therefore, Midoil privately acquired some expanse of land and thereafter applied to the Lagos State Government for its allocation.
On 24th April 2014 the Government of Lagos State allocated 364.499 hectares of land spanning through five communities; Ejinrin, Sekungba, Lumodan, Ododugba & Arogbo in Ikosi/Ejinrin Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Lagos State for the proposed 100,000 bpsd Refinery Project as well as mixed developments.
