President/CE of Dangote
Group, Aliko Dangote has said that he decided to venture into the construction
of a refinery and fertiliser plant as part of his own contribution to reduce
unemployment in the country. Dangote made this known at the weekend in Lagos
while addressing members of a business group that paid him a visit.
He said the task of
growing the nation's economy rests more on the shoulders of the private sector
and as such he charged other investors to lend the government a helping hand in
this direction. According to him, the task of the government is more of
providing the enabling environment through the right policies and
infrastructural provisions, for the private sector to thrive.
Noting that the current
administration was already focusing on issues that would help the private
sector perform optimally as enshrined in the transformation agenda of President
Goodluck Jonathan, he said no government can succeed without the input of the
private sector.
Dangote commended the
government for listening to the private sector and intervening in some critical
areas of attention such as the backward integration policy which started with
the cement sector and now being extended to agriculture.
He said: “Nigeria has the
resources and the market for any company to survive. I have always said it that
Nigeria is a good place to invest. We have all in abundance. God has blessed
this country.
Expressing optimism in
Nigeria’s economic revival through the private sector, he said the current
challenges facing the country will soon be a thing of the past. Dangote Group,
he promised, will invest more in Nigeria and create more jobs.

ReplyDeleteHmmm!I strongly believed that Dangote is up to something else that's why keeps hooking up ith other States natural resources in the name of privatisation. Nigeria should watch out for him b4 it becomes too late!this is another strategy that he is trying to use in other to get hook ith our oill. And if care is not taken, this country economy I'll controle by him sooner or later. We don't need his contribution on that aspect.
