Dangote Commences Construction Of Concrete Roads In States. Lagos, Ogun, Bauchi by aresssa(op): 2:13pm On Aug 08, 2016
Dangote Industries Limited has announced the commencement of the construction of concrete roads in various states across the country, particularly in Lagos, Bauchi, Kogi, Kaduna and Ogun states.

[b]“We are very happy at the moment. We can categorically state that we are in more than five states across the country already constructing roads. The reception has been wonderful. State governments are beginning to see the need to embrace concrete roads and we are very happy at the way things are currently going,” the company said.

The Chairman, Dangote Cement Plc, Aliko Dangote, recently reiterated his plea to the Federal Government to consider the use of concrete in road construction in the country.

The African richest man said it would be to the benefit of Nigerians if the Federal Government embraced the option of using concrete for roads in the country, adding that aside from being cheap, concrete roads were more durable, with near zero maintenance cost.

“We are pushing for Nigeria to do concrete roads. It is cheaper to do a concrete road that will last 50 years than to do a bitumen road. It will also help in eliminating corruption because if you go and build a bitumen road, it will have to be adequately maintained unlike a concrete road that is very durable,” Dangote added.[/b]

You will be a fool to think that Dangote is doing this because he is a Patriot,
Concrete roads equals more purchasing of cement which equals more money in Dangote's pocket.

Does it really matter if it makes Dangote richer?... What anyone should be concerned about is how to get more motorable roads.

Regardless his intentions, concrete roads are better and saves money in the long run so it's a win win situation for us instead of wasting money on the same tar roads that falls apart after 2 heavy rains...


Rise above petty reasoning...
