The Chairman of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates will meet with President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja on Monday.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Dangote made this known after a closed-door session with Tinubu at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa on Friday.
“I did not come to do much. I only came to inform the President about our visit with Microsoft co-founder and my friend Bill Gates. We will both see the President on Monday when we come together,” he told State House correspondents.
Although Dangote did not reveal the purpose of Monday’s visit, it is believed to be part of ongoing consultations Tinubu is having with key leaders within the local and global business community.
Recall that in his inaugural speech on May 29, Tinubu promised local and foreign investors that he would “review all their complaints about multiple taxation and various anti-investment inhibitions.”
“We shall ensure that investors and foreign businesses repatriate their hard-earned dividends and profits home,” he added.
The President also promised to pursue industrial policies that “utilise the full range of fiscal measures to promote domestic manufacturing and lessen import dependency.”
