Alhaji Aliko Dangote yesterday said plans have been concluded to construct a gas
pipeline to address power supply challenges in Lagos State.

visit to the office of the Lagos State governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode.
He said; “We also assured him that
we are going to do a Gas Pipeline from Bonny (River State) to pass under the

blackout. There will be electricity 24 hours a day.”

He noted that the company is also
building ”the largest ever single refinery of 650,000 barrels per day, which is
by far more than the consumption of Nigeria and that would satisfy our
consumption at least for the next seven to 10 years by the time we finish.”
All these projects Dangote said are
no small projects.
‘’We will have challenge in getting
people to work there, because at the height of it, there will be close to
38,000 people working at the same location, this is something that we have to
partner with the state government.
‘’Having 38,000 people on one site,
not every one of them will be from the community, others will be from other
states, there would be cultural issues and all that, we need to integrate
everybody to ensure that the whole thing works out fine.”
He stressed that the visit afforded
him the opportunity to assure the governor of his commitment to complete these
ongoing projects already embarked upon by the company.
The business mogul promised to
continue to support the state government initiatives geared towards securing
lives and properties, adding “I have assured him that we really love doing
business here, it’s a friendly state for doing business.”
According to him, “There are quite a
lot of things that will come along with creating so many jobs. I think Lagos
will be one of the fastest growing cities in Nigeria and Africa as a whole.
‘’ I can assure you that we would do
our own bit in terms of your efforts in policing Lagos, for security and
whatever the need is, feel free to call us, we would partner with you and
whatever you want us to do to make Lagos a better place”.
Responding, Ambode vowed to embark
on strategies that would open the state for new investors, aimed at reducing
the rate of unemployment in the state.
He said “I will just call on other
investors that wherever it is that we can assist we are willing and ready to
make sure that investors have comfortable life and comfortable business profile
in Lagos State.”
The governor promised that his
administration would open up the state to attract new investors and growth of
existing business in the state, adding that the bottom line “is to create jobs
for our youths.”
