Aliko Dangote: I applaud President Museveni for his bold decision to ban the export of unprocessed minerals. I also want to commit to the two presidents here that, with their support for the refinery, we will build a similar one in East Africa like the one we have in Nigeria.

Yesterday, I led a powerful delegation on an investment drive to the Dangote Refinery, Dangote Petrochemical Plant and the Dangote Port in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State. Yes, we are building critical road infrastructures across the 8 LGAs and going forward, we would be more intentional, deliberate and strategic to attract new investments with businesses in our areas of comparative advantage in resources to boost the economic profile of the state and create job opportunities for our people. Our visit to the facility which was a follow-up to an earlier meeting with Alhaji Aliko Dangote in Nassau, The Bahamas, during the AFREXIM Bank annual meeting last month was rewarding. Thank you Alhaji Dangote for opening your doors to us! Thanks to members of my delegation which included Ambassador (Dr.) Godknows Igali and my brother, Ndutimi Alaibe Chief Ndutimi Alaibe, former Managing Director, NDDC. We take it up from here!

“If you don’t invest in your own country, how do you expect others to?” — Aliko Dangote Africa can’t afford to keep exporting raw minerals and importing finished goods. As Dangote puts it, we’re exporting jobs and importing poverty. The real key to making Africa great? Process our resources here, create jobs here, and keep the wealth within the continent.

Aliko Dangote is the one sabotaging the Nigerian economy. Nigeria gave Dangote a single licence to import flour, sugar and salt. Dangote built his refinery with our money; the Nigerian government subsidised FX for him to build the refinery, Festus Osifo, PENGASSAN President, alleges. #PoliticsToday

DISCLAIMER NOTICE: DEEPFAKE VIDEO It has come to our attention that scammers involved in promoting unverified and dubious investment schemes have doctored visuals from Channels Television and are using the same visuals and the Channels' identity to give some form of credibility to their criminal activity. In this instance, the fraudsters doctored visuals from an episode of our programme Lunchtime Politics, which aired last week, and undated doctored footage of the Chairman Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, in their attempt to promote an investment scheme. The fraudsters then edited a voice narrative over footage of our anchor and Alhaji Dangote to make it seem like the scheme they are promoting is genuine. The authentic video and the manipulated version are attached to this post. Please note, Channels TV DOES NOT endorse investment schemes.

It's been a week since the Africa-France summit(Africa Forward summit) which French/Kenyan leaders have hailed as a success. However, last week at a time like this some African leaders including Rwanda's President Kagame, Botswana President Boko, Egypt's Foreign Minister and at some point someone shared a video with me of what looks like Africa's richest man Aliko Dangote struggling to get in/out of some of the meeting rooms because of scenes like this.
