Chairman of Dangote Industries, Aliko Dangote has assured Saudi Arabian investors that Nigeria, under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu, will be unearthed to the world as a foremost global investment haven.
“What I always say about Nigeria is that it is the world’s best kept secret in terms of investments and returns. We are also looking to ensure that our investments are a two-way process. Nigerian companies have a lot of value to add to the Saudi economy, and we look forward to working together in expanding our Nigerian operations as well. The forthcoming launch of the Nigeria-Saudi Business Council will be a huge opportunity for both countries to expand on what has been established here.

“I have listened to all of you very intently, and I am not only impressed, but I am determined to be your partner in progress and prosperity. Nigeria will reward your faith. Our people are ready, and we will not disappoint,” President Tinubu concluded.
