Africa's richest man and chairman of
Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote has invested
$1billion in rice production in Nigeria.
The signing of the $1billion-dollar Rice
Investment Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU), between the Federal Government
and Dangote Group held at the State House,
Abuja yesterday August 1st
The Minister of Agriculture, Adewunmi
Adesina and Alhaji Dangote signed on behalf
of the Federal Government and Dangote
Group respectively.

Commending Dangote Group, president
Jonathan said the investment is the single
largest investment ever made in rice
production in Africa. He thanked Alhaji
Dangote for investing in agriculture and
assured him that his investment will be
worthwhile.

President Jonathan said he looked forward
to a time Nigeria will be self-sufficient in
rice production and a net-exporter of the
grain, adding that the Federal Government
will protect Nigeria’s borders and check
smuggling.
"Government cannot allow its borders
to be porous. We are working on non-
human measures and smugglers should
have a rethink now and change their
ways by investing their resources in
other meaningful areas,” he said.
In less than four years, Nigeria hopes to
become a net-exporter of rice. The Dangote
Group’s investment in rice will cover five
states and contribute additional 1.4 million
metric tonnes of Paddy rice.
Alhaji Dangote thanked the President for
the consistency of government policies,
noting that the current $25 billion-dollar
Dangote Cement Company was the result of
the consistency of government policies. He
assured President Jonathan, “We will
continue to work hard and will not
disappoint you.”

Abiola was cursed therefore he didn't know what he was doing and this led to his tragic end "He whom the gods want to kill he first make run mad"-Chinua Achebe

Tolexander: One of the yielding transformation agenda of Mr President. Just because the minister in charge knows what he is doing!
If only you can look with both eyes and without prejudice, you'll see other working ministers/appointees of the govt.

For instance, there is Olusegun Aganga of trade and investment ministry (a portfolio created by GEJ), Okonjo Iweala of finance (mid-wifed creation of sovereign wealth fund in spite of stiff opposition by governors, YOUWIN, 10,000 housing schemes, integrated pay roll system that is eliminating ghost workers syndrome in the federal civil service, etc), Omobola Johnson of ICT, Mike Onolememe of works, Prof Nebo of power, Sam Amadi of NERC (has now made it possible for state governors to build power plants, embedd it and distribute it locally), Prof Jega of INEC, etc etc.

Finally, you will agree with me that it takes a sincere, great and focused leader to assemble a team with the likes of Akinwumi Adeshina. GEJ did not just assemble this team, he has been giving them all the political support and the backborn to succeed. Yes, all the problems have not been solved but that is because all the problems cannot be solved in one day. Some of us have decided to give GEJ and his team a chance to succeed in 8 years. For instance, I believe that if someone like Akinwumi Adeshina cannot transform Nigeria's agric sector in 8 years, then maybe Nigeria is doomed to fail as a country.

A good and big move by Alh. Dangote. However this $1billion investment in rice production by Oga Dangote won't deter or scare me away from investing my chicken-change in same project.

BTW, I admire the guy a lot, he's my mentor and role model (in business) that I've never met.
