Nigeria’s multinational conglomerate,
The Dangote Group has announced
that it will create 250,000 employment
opportunities for Nigerians after the
completion of its new projects.
According to the executive director
(communications) of the group,
Ahmed Mansur, the company’s
investments on new projects on
agriculture, sugar, oil refinery and
fertilisers would create the jobs.
Mansur also stated that the projects
would be cited in Jigawa, Taraba,
Kano and Kogi states among others.
Mansur who was addressing
journalists in Abuja today,
November 8 said the group will
encourage self-sufficiency in food
production and reduce capital
flight from Nigeria.
He also said the company’s cement
production was expected to grow
from its current 40 million tonnes
to between 75 million and 80
million tonnes in 2020, adding that
projected estimates show that the
cement arm of the company will
produce 40 million tonnes from the
total figure.
Mansur however commended the
federal government’s efforts at
diversifying the economy,
especially through agriculture and
solid mineral, adding that the
policy was a sustainable and
inclusive direction for economic
growth.
Meanwhile, proprietor of the
Dangote Group, Alhjai Aliko
Dangote has suggested that the
power sector privatisation should
be reversed.
According to Dangote, the
privatisation was done wrongly,
adding that the problems in the
power sector has persisted despite
the policy which was initiated by
the Goodluck Jonathan
administration.
Dangote further stated that the
beneficiaries of the privatisation
policy lack understanding of the
complexities of the sector.
Dangote made the comments while
speaking as a guest lecturer at the
Senior Executive course 38 at the
National Institute of Policy and
Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru, in
Plateau state.
In November 2013, five Generation
companies (Gencos) and 11
Distribution companies (Discos)
were handed over to private
investors with 60 per cent stakes in
the former Power Holding
Company of Nigeria (PHCN)
utilities.
