Dangote and Agric Minister Dr. Akinwumi Adesina at the signing at the State House, Abuja yesterday |
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.
Despite his monopoly on Rice,Cement and Sugar production I must say that this man has his country at heart.. Dangote will always be a shrewd business man
ReplyDeleteGod bless him, the type of rice in Naija these days eh. Cooked rice grows fat, robust and voluptous instead of slim and long.
ReplyDeleteCorrect different rice recipes still cooking on my blog o.
