Goverment Needs to Change is Policies - said Dangote

The President of Dangote Groups, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, said that for Nigeria to grow that they need to return back to agriculture in order to boos and guaranty food security in our country, that for this so reason that Dangote Groups will make it their priority to make sure that the price of fertilizer crashes by the end of this year, so that i will import rapid production in agriculture.

Speaking at a forum in Abuja, Dangote stated that Nigeria’s fertilizer production would rise by about three million tonnes, and would be easily accessible to farmers across the country.

He noted that, “We need to be very serious. People who are hoping that crude oil is going to go back up to around $70 and $80 per barrel, it is not just going to happen. There is so much oil everywhere and I think, at $53 per barrel, it is a temporary measure.

“If crude oil gets to $90 per barrel, none of us would talk about recession again; we would go back to our normal ways. For us to go through this long haul of low oil price would help push us into the real sector which is agriculture, construction and all others.”
