Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote says despite the large size of his group, he still requires to have 38 visas to move around the African continent. In an interview with CNBC, Dangote said African leaders need to work to remove barriers such as visa issuance so that businesses can effectively connect and thrive within the continent.
''Our leaders must give incentives. For example, little things like visa issuance. You go to a country that is looking for investment, that particular country will give you a run around just to get a visa. You have to know somebody who is big in that country to call somebody. They are giving you visas as if it is a favour.
Somebody like me, despite the size of our group, I need 38 visas to move around Africa. Yes, I’ve heard that they are going to do the (African) passport, but you can see that there is still a little bit of resistance from other African leaders. Even countries like Rwanda and co, that say no visas for Africans, they are still having problems getting visas into other African countries, despite saying no need for visas for Africans coming in. They say, just come, we would give you on arrival”he said

This is an issue African leaders should look into
And that's his only probs?? Nigerians have got bigger probs than urs!
How can an African such as Aliko Dangote, one of the richest men in the world go through this bull in his own continent? What happened to multiple visa entry? What about business travel incentives? USA, Canada, etc offer business people excellent investment incentives which permit ease of travel entry. What on earth is going on in Africa? No wonder the continent is not moving as fast as it should. You can bet rich non-Africans do not have this problem!
Hmmmmmm
...merited happiness
Imagine the disgrace! How can Rwanda be discriminating against other Africans? Who on earth do they think they are, is this their way forward after the dreadful genocide of not so long ago? Angola is also another difficult country when it comes to visas. No wonder most African nations are still so backward.
It's up to African leaders to make it a little easier for serious minded business professionals to travel with ease. This can only benefit Africa in the long term.
His business.. Not mine
That's because you Nigerian Passport ain't worth a grain of salt. In other words with all your worth, your Nigerian passport is still worthless.
He's right, I agree. This would promote trade relationship amongst African countries instead of depending totally most times on foreign investment outside the continent
The rich also cry...
The thing tire me sef
Alhaji, go and get yourself an AU passport. it was launched in Kigali in July. you can travel anywhere within Africa with the passport without a Visa
Africans, not seeing them self as one.
Er.. you sound so ignorant. Read again. He said Rwanda is one of the few African countries that you do not require visas to enter,yet other African countries still stress them for visas.

Please read and digest before you insult your generation. Rwanda said AFRICAN COUNTRIES DO NOT NEED A VISA TO ENTER THEIR COUNTRY., INSTEAD AFRICANS CAN COME TO RWANDA AND BE ISSUED A VISA ON ARRIVAL. That's a good and examplary move by them. Understand first before commenting next time please.
it is a shame that most african leaders cannot fully tap into the benefits of globalisation.
the world is a small village in which comminicatiions and transportation barriers have been overcome and it would be useful for africans to tap into that vision so as to create economic prosperity. i wonder what ecowas and AU are doing in resolving such issues.
Oga, who is to blame?
*Grachi Dynasty*
Dangote plz not just you. Even me need visa to 38 countries as well. This is because our economy is bad and those countries don't have value for us. Help us tell your brother buhari to show working on our poor economy so that we get visa waiver from all Africa countries and me and you can travel without visa... All in all I respect your humbility
We don't want that EU nonsense here o!
Hmmmmmm okkk
okay!
What's good for him, is it the stress our leaders who needs investment made him pass through just to issue him just visa or The fact that he's richer abd has impacted more lives than you. So what's good for him???
