The federal government of Nigeria has assured investors of adequate security for their businesses in the country.
The Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, gave the assurance during a visit to the Dangote Petroleum Refinery on Saturday.
He commended Aliko Dangote’s investment in the refinery, which will meet 100% of Nigeria’s refined product requirements and have a surplus for export.
The Minister described the refinery as a viable investment that the government will provide security to maintain high production levels.
He also commended Dangote’s patriotism and courage in investing in Nigeria, boosting the economy through wealth creation and employment generation.
Aliko Dangote thanked the Minister for the visit and reiterated his commitment to the Nigerian project, aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s vision for improved lives through wealth creation and employment for the youth.
The refinery, a multi-billion dollar project, is the biggest in Africa and will create a market for $21 billion per annum of Nigerian crude.
