The President, Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote has said that Nigerians shouldn’t let present economic challenges deter us from growing our economy because if Nigerians don’t invest in Nigeria, foreigners won’t invest too.
Dangote, while addressing a delegation of cement distributors from across the country, who paid him a visit in his office in Lagos said “I have always said it that Nigeria is a good place for investment. God has given us in Nigeria what many other countries don’t have and they keep searching for.
“We have got fertile land for agriculture, we have mineral resources and we have oil. All we need to do is to harness them for our good.
“The present challenges we are facing should not deter us from growing our economy. They shouldn’t stop us from investing.
“The current situation just a passing phase. Other countries referred to as developed started from somewhere. They all experienced some of these challenges in the past. So, I want us to see these challenges as obstacles towards attaining greatness.
“If Nigerians do not invest in their country, other people will not come. They will want to see our success story before they can come.”
