Africa’s richest man and President, Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, on Friday promised more jobs for Nigerians as he hosted 10 governors under the auspices of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum at the Dangote Industrial Complex in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos.
On behalf of the governors, Fayemi, who described the project a pride to Africa, presented a letter to Dangote and his foundation, urging him not to relent in giving hope to Nigerians.
When asked if the governors had come to invest in Dangote’s refinery or to offer support to him, Fayemi said government did not have to invest but to provide an enabling environment for businesses to succeed and thrive.
Dangote Industries Limited (Dangote Group) is a diversified and fully integrated conglomerate, with an annual group turnover in excess of $4.1 Billion. The Group started business in 1978, with a sole aim to provide local, value-added products and services that meet the basic needs of the populace.
The Group currently has operations in 16 other African countries with a focus on building local manufacturing capacity to generate employment, prevent capital flight and provide locally produced goods for the people.
In his remarks, Dangote thanked the governors for the visit, saying, “We will continue to make you proud, invest in Nigeria, create jobs and invest where we belong. We promise we will spend more money going forward. You can see the challenges we are facing here but as soon as we finish, we intend to assist a lot of Nigerians by pumping money into health, education and capital development.
Dangote lives in Lagos, Nigeria. He has married four times, and his marriages ended in divorce. He has a total of fifteen children from these marriages.
