The President, Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote has said he will invest $12bn in Nigeria’s economy.
This
was contained in a statement felicitating with Muslims on the Sallah
celebration. He expressed his firm belief in the Nigerian economy.
He
said that of the $12b, $2.3 billion would be invested in sugar and rice
production in Adamawa State to create about 180,000 jobs and combat
terrorism in the North-East.
He said that the Nigerian atmosphere
is good for business and that he wouldn't have invested in the country
if he didn’t believe that.
While wishing all Muslims a
spiritually rewarding festival, Dangote described the current situation
in the country as a passing phase. He urged Nigerians not to allow
themselves to be overwhelmed by despair but to be determined and
courageous.
“It is high time Nigerians rededicated themselves and
maintained the virtues, without which the country would continue to
wander hopelessly, ” he added.
