African industrialists and entrepreneurs are key drivers of economic growth and innovation in various sectors, including manufacturing, industrialisation, banking and technology.
As a result, they are crucial partners with governments in transforming our countries, especially in investment and employment creation.
Met Mr @AlikoDangote, founder of the Dangote Group and Africa's leading industrialist with interests in cement and sugar manufacturing, and oil refining, on the sidelines of the Africa We Build Summit, Nairobi.
We welcome his announcement at the summit that he was ready to partner with Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania in building an oil refinery in Tanga, Tanzania.
We thank Mr Dangote for believing in Africa and are committed to working with him to make this very important regional project a reality.
