Browsing: Aliko Dangote

The name “Dangote” resonates in virtually every household in Nigeria and millions of other households in the rest of Africa. In Nigeria, no household can escape the daily use of a series of household essential commodities from the Dangote group: salt, sugar, rice, fruit drinks, vegetable oil, seasoning pasta, and other products such as cement, flour, etc, among others.

“Aliko Dangote is the largest private sector employer in the country. His companies pay more in taxes than the top banks combined. His contributions extend to critical infrastructure, including major roads like the Apapa Oshodi-Owonrosoki Express Road and the Obajana-Kabba Road,” he added.

“Utilising the visionary framework of Executive Order 007 in Road Infrastructure Development and Refurbishment Investment Tax Credit Scheme, the Dangote Group has been able to mobilise capital for the complete refurbishment of the entire 37 kilometers length of Apapa-Isolo-Oworonshoki road and its expansion to 10 lanes.”
