Dangote Calls For Improved Free Trade In Africa

Aliko Dangote

Aliko Dangote, the President of the Dangote Group, has urged African countries to dismantle all economic barriers hindering free trade among the nations, to enhance sustainable growth and development across the continent.

According to a statemet, Dangote who was represented by the Group Executive Director/Group Chief Risk Officer, Dangote Industries Limited, Dr Adenike Fajemirokun, said this while speaking in Lagos at the launch of a special publication ‘The world ahead 2023’ by The Economist magazine’.

He also expressed his commitment to solving some of the economic challenges faced by the African continent and its people.

Dangote, explained that to make this possible, the organisation had committed over $20 billion on investments in several key sectors of the African economy.

He explained that the investments were to turn around Africa’s economic fortunes in the quest for sustained economic growth through free trade and economic integration.

Dangote noted that the crucial task of building a sustainable future that guaranteed equitable growth and prosperity for all should not be the exclusive role of the public sector alone, but should also involve the private sector.
