Alhaji Aliko Dangote
The President/Chief Executive Officer of the Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has said that the company is focusing on generating foreign exchange earnings over the next five years when all its projects are completed, adding that the Group will soon be the country’s largest forex earners after the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Daily Trust reports.
He said this in a Pre-Convocation lecture of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, at the weekend. Dangote listed the 650, 000 barrels per day refinery and a separate 1.2 petrochemical complex that will be completed in 2018 as one of the projects that will generate at least $6bn foreign exchange for the nation.
Dangote Group, he said, is also furthering new ground by investing in two 554Km, three billion square cubic feet (scf) gas offshore pipeline projects. The projects which are the first indigenous owned undersea gas pipelines that will supply gas to industries and power plants, would be run from Bonny through the various gas fields and would generate 12,000MW of power.
