Government ehnnnn, the jobs and investment, they won't do, people that are ready to do it, they will still be disturbing them. If Dangote leave the site for them can they handle it, the imo government palm kernel and coconut farm, where is it today. What message are they trying to pass to other investors.

Dangote keep investing in the country despite it's Downfall, this is unlike most billionaires, even Nigerians don't appreciate.

if I'm the with my temper, I will even stop building the refinery, the government should keep importing fuel and cement.

Unfortunately, those in government don't care about things like that. Infact they love how we import fuel as more money can be stolen.

Dangote has enjoyed ridiculous monopolies found no where else in the world .

I am with Yahaya Bello on this one. Dangote is an outrageous ilegal monopoly which should only exist in fantasy movies and comedy

You are with a thieving corrupt politician who has brought zero jobs to his people versus a man who employs hundreds of thousands of Nigerians, all tribes?

If we're to go by this document, Bello can't win this.

If all of this is correct why is Yahaya Bello not approaching a court of law to resolve the issue?

Why resort to extra judicial resolution of an issue that is based on a contract?

It looks to me like our politicians only talk about the rule of law when it suits them so to do. This is a matter that is fully amenable to the rule of law and should be so resolved. The courts are also able to direct Dangote Group to pay the Kogi State government all of its accumulated dividends and back taxes.

Yahaya should head to the courts but leave the factory open and running.

Official: 2002 Agreement Between Kogi State Government and Dangote Industries Limited on Obajana Cement Plant

Extracts from the duly signed and stamped agreement:

1. Project was at conceptual stage in 1992

2. Preliminary feasibility study carried out in 1992

3. Obajana Cement Company Plc with Certificate of Incorporation No. RC208767 dated 4th November, 1992 is solely owned by Kogi state

4. Prospecting Right (Numbered PR No.14 of 2001 No.0053) was issued exclusively to the company

5. Kogi state offered and transferred 90% of its total shareholding in the company to Dangote Industries Limited

6. Kogi state is at liberty to sell half of its 10% equity to indigenes of the state by public offer or private placement

7. Kogi state shall grant Dangote Industries Limited tax waivers and exemption from levies for a period of 7 years from the date of commencement of production

Hmmmm clear enough

How is this related to what you are saying. The means of settling dispute as stated in the agreement is via arbitration, why would Kogi State result to self help using vigilante to lock a running factory up.

All roads lead to the court as a competent court of is waiting to entertain the suit and do the needful

If the agreement is 2002 and they give them 7 years waiver for tax, 7 years don pass na. Dangote too should start paying tax to the government back na

What are you talking about? Are we addressing the person of the governor or the stupid nonsensical rubbish unrealistic monopoly dangote enjoys ?

One of the claims from the Kogi State government is that Dangote used the State Government name and documents to collect a loan of 600Billion which he he used to fund the Cement Company.

Really I think the question should be is DIL paying tax to kogi state government after the expiration of the 7 years tax waiver period?? Is kogi state contributing it's 10% quota in terms of funding? If yes are they receiving their dividends? This is not matter of emotion or sentiment. There was an agreement which may have been breached by both parties. Know this and know peace

PeterObi4LP:
Kogi should fight what belongs to them if there is bridge of agreement.

Bridge ko, flyover ni

The government that came after Prince Abubakar Audu caused this. They refused to invest in the company because they didn't want to continue with Audu's legacy. Ibrahim Idris' plan was to build a different cement factory in Itobe. Now they are crying foul. Dangote invested a billion dollars to make Obajana what it is today!!

So many people worship money in this country. They just feel Dangote can not be wrong. Forget that guy u are responding to. He doesn't reason normal.

Let's try and appreciate good people investing in the country, we always ignore our governors that few days after leaving the office, they are already out of the country, years later, you will see them enter Pandora's paper of having secret investment abroad, and we the followers will say nothing is wrong with it.

Yes, but you can just throw away ur daddy property away freely just bcoz u can handle it.

The same thing happens at the Federal level. The agreement is nonsense.

Honestly it is really frustrating, a lot of graduates are paid just 50k there are limited companies in nigeria. Yet government keep frustrating them. While these companies sack their staff and treat them any how. This country ehn, this country. I tire o!

Dangote's corruption-fuelled monopoly and acquisitions aren't sustainable just like anything illegally acquired. The truth will eventually reveal itself and water will find her level when karma's time arrives.

You got Alla that from the above documents or out of hate?

Dangote should do the needful ...
For many years he has not been paying for the raw materials he extracted from kogi State also he hasn't been doing any social responsibility for kogi State..
I support Governor Yahya Bello on this

This is advanced fraud by Dangote. I stand with Yahaya on this.

Production is in full force in Obajana Cement factory... Enough of this media propaganda.....But come to think of it... Why should cement be so much expensive why all production process are being done in Nigeria here. ENOUGH OF Dangote Monopoly

Dozis:
Yahaya Bello is not intelligent.
Dangote will mess him up.

really? Can you explain pls
