Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, says Nigeria could attract more international investment following recent economic agreements signed during President Bola Tinubu’s visit to the United Kingdom.
Speaking after a courtesy meeting with the president at his Lagos residence on Monday, Dangote said a £746 million financing deal aimed at improving Nigeria’s ports and infrastructure signals growing international confidence in the country’s economy.
The industrialist urged Nigerian investors to take advantage of export credit agencies now showing greater willingness to finance projects in the country.
On global economic tensions and volatility in the energy market, Dangote warns that escalating crises in the Middle East could worsen economic hardship, particularly in Africa where many people rely on daily income.
